Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is nowadays so widely recognized that its principles naturally apply to ubiquitous computing. This paper discusses software components that are deployed in mobile and wireless devices. Event though mobile and wireless devices execute programs like ordinary computers do, their limited capabilities preclude for fully controlling their embedded software components. This calls for a global management infrastructure in which wireless components are just pieces in a puzzle. This puzzle is a highly distributed application in which assemblies are made of wireless and non-wireless components. The paper describes how the management architecture and activities may formally rely on state machines and event processing.
