A current limitation to component reusability is that component models target to describe a deployed assembly and thus bind the behavior of a component to the data-types it manipulates. This paper studies the feasibility of supporting genericity within component models, including component and port types. The proposed approach works by extending the meta-model of an existing component model. It is applied to the SCA component model; a working prototype shows its feasibility.
