Artemis Toward a unified supporting system for Internetware 马晓星 南京大学计算机软件研究所 Outline Motivation and approach Explicit and programmable coordination “Smart” component wires Configurable multi-mode interactions Dynamic software architectures Conclusion and future work Motivation New Internet applications are booming. New software supporting technology is demanded. Motivation Basic assumptions of trad. devlp. tech. Developers take full control (Closed world) Structure before constituents Structured technology centralized structure for well-defined function Object-oriented technology decentralized structure for “adjustable” function Even for component technology components are modified, customized, and wrapped to fit defined structure Structures are expected to be stable Motivation Computation-centric Interaction mechanism are built in the programming language and/or the Middleware. Application-specific coordination logic are hard coded in the components, tightly coupled with computation logic. Motivation But for Internet applications Resources are not owned by current application, and services are provided “AS IS” Coordination-centric Structure after constituents Assembling after deployment Structure are more dynamic Requirement, environment, (trust) Approach Make the coordination logic Separated Explicit Programmable Dynamically reconfigurable Moveable Best adapted to the distributed of the resources Approach Basic framework Approach Address specific aspects of the challenge: Stubborn component binding Configurable middleware Architecture reconfiguration Develop our solutions based on the basic framework “Smart” wire The deficiency in the RPC/ORB style of component wires: One to one mapping Fixed interaction mechanism implied. Only information exchanged. Work-around develop extra adapter components The deficiency Work-around Work-around Smart wire Our approach Enriched component wires based on mobile agent technology Wiring logic Group T
