Abstract
Component-based development has become a widely accepted programming technique. However, the current situation in usage of component systems is that most of the widely used systems are flat ones while hierarchical systems (which are more advanced and elaborated) are rather ignored by industry.
In our view, the situation is caused by a poor support of features necessary to built real-life applications in hierarchical component systems. In the paper, based on several real-life case-studies, we show a set of typical architecture patterns, which have to be supported by hierarchical component systems, and also we evaluate how these patterns are supported by current systems.
