Component-based software engineering proposes building complex applications from COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) organized into component markets. Therefore, the main development effort is required in selection of the components that fit the specific needs of an application. In this article, we propose a mechanism allowing the automatic selection of a component among a set of candidate COTS, according to functional and non-functional properties. This mechanism has been validated on an example using the ComponentSource component market.
