A Novel Service-Based Paradigm for Dynamic Component Integration

Contents

We are developing a novel service-based paradigm for dynamic component integration that facilitates the creation of Intelligent Services from COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) components, legacy components, and application frameworks by using techniques such as mediation and adaption or "wrapping". This framework supports the construction of applications by dynamically integrating these services at run-time based on available resources and allows for a federation of services that can evolve over time. As a part of the ongoing research effort we are utilizing an architecture based specification language that enables us to automate the process of creating these intelligent services.
