Return to Component Based Applications


Abstract

In this paper, the authors share their experience gathered during the 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, aiming to 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.
