Title
Managing Evolution of Coordination Aspects in Open Systems
Abstract
Most of the work on coordination technology so far has focused on the development of spe- cial coordination languages and environments that provide the basic mechanisms for realiz- ing the coordination layer of an open system. It is clear that the idea of managing separately the coordination aspect from the computation in a language has a lot of advantages in the de- velopment of those systems. Nevertheless, most of the coordination languages do not take care that additionally to managing coordina- tion requirements, they must manage other kinds of "openness" related requirements in Open Systems. The most important require- ment being to support the evolution of the co- ordination requirements themselves. This problem manifests during the software devel- opment process by the development over and over again of solutions to similar coordination problems. To tackle this problem, and instead of proposing a new language, we are attempt- ing to develop an open set of adaptable and re- usable software components that realize vari- ous useful coordination abstractions. With these components we provide explicit separa- tion of coordination from computation, and fa- cilitate reuse and evolution of coordination as- pects in Open Systems.
