The decomposition of large systems into parts is a general principle of software design. Even more, in the scope of distributed systems a partition of the whole system into distri...
The design and development process of complex systems require an adequate methodology and efficient instrumental support in order to early detect and correct anomalies in the func...
We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
In today's software engineering practices, building applications from components is the ongoing trend. What can be noticed however is that there really is not a clear consens...
This paper presents a case study in the generic design of Grid component models. It defines a framework allowing two component systems, one running in a CCA environment, and anoth...
