Distributed component system based on architecture description: The SOFA experience

Abstract:

In this paper, the authors share their experience gathered duringthe design and implementation of a runtime environment for the SOFA component system. The authors focus on the issues of mapping the SOFA component definition language into the C++ language and the integration of a CORBA middleware into the SOFA component system, aimingto support transparently distributed applications in a real-life environment. The experience highlights general problems related to the type system of architecture description languages and middleware implementations, the mapping of the type system into the implementation language, and the support for dynamic changes of the application architecture. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
