Abstract. Software components are deployed into an execution environment before runtime. The execution environment influences the runtime execution of a component. Therefore, it i...
Ideally in the deployment phase, components should be composable, and their composition checked. Current component models fall short of this ideal. Most models do not allow composi...
Supporting self-management behaviour by means of component-based architectural solutions has been the focus of many current research projects. In such a context, handling unantici...
A number of emerging distributed platforms include xed and robust workstations but, like dynamic and pervasive networks, are often built from mobile and resource-constrained device...
—Dynamic reconfiguration – the ability to hot swap a component, or to introduce a new component into the system – is essential to supporting evolutionary change in long-live ...
