The 2010 Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE 2010) marked the 13th event in a series that serves as a key forum for experts in both industry and academia to explore component technology. The focus of CBSE is on developing software-intensive systems using independently created software components, as well as on the development of these components and their maintenance through replacement and customization. The conference aims to establish a scientific and technological foundation for ensuring predictable quality in software systems via component technology and related engineering practices. CBSE 2010 received 48 submissions, with 14 accepted after a rigorous peer-review process, resulting in a 29% acceptance rate. The selected technical papers are included in this volume. For the fourth consecutive time, CBSE 2010 was part of the Federated Events on Component-Based Software Engineering and Software Architecture (COMPARCH), which included the 13th International Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering, the 6th International Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures, and the 1st International Symposium on Architecting Critical Systems. Alongside COMPARCH’s Industrial Experience Report Track and the Workshop on Component-Oriented Programming, these events offered a comprehensive exploration of components and architectures.
