Abstract
Component adaptors often are used to bridge gaps between the functional requirements of a component and the functional specification of another one supposed to provide the needed services. As bridging functional mismatches is necessary, the use of adaptors is often unavoidable. This emphasises the relevance of a drawback of adaptor usage: The alteration of Quality of Service properties of the adapted component. That is especially nasty, if the original QoS properties of the component have been a major criteria for the choice of the respective component. Therefore, we give an overview of examples of the problem and highlight some approaches how to cope with it.
