Current middleware solutions such as CORBA and Java's RMI emphasize compositional
design by separating functional aspects of a system (eg objects) from the mechanisms used …

Research in software architecture has emphasized compositional development. Typically,
software architectures are factored into a set of components, which encapsulate …

This paper presents the Aurora architecture for network-centric applications. This
architecture complements the CORBA and WWW= Java frameworks with support for …

Actor-oriented components emphasize concurrency and temporal semantics and are used
for modeling and designing embedded software and hardware. Actors interact with one …

Component based development is seen as a way to increase programmer productivity and
reduce software maintenance costs through the reuse of off-the-shelf software components …

The world's computing infrastructure is increasingly differentiating into self-contained
distributed systems with various purposes and capabilities (eg IoT installations, clouds …

Simplifying the development and maintenance of complex distributed software. coordination

In this paper, we present an overview of our research project with Gaia, a development
infrastructure for ubiquitous applications. This infrastructure is based on three main …

This paper makes two contributions: a generalization of AspectJ-like languages with first-
class aspect instances and instance-level advising, and a mapping of the mediator style for …

To facilitate the writing of large maintainable distributed systems we need to separate out
various concerns. We view these concerns as being communication, computation …
