| Description
Object-oriented software development and component systems. Building complex systems is still a difficult task. Developers ought to handle many aspects, a lot of dependencies and different sometimes even contradicting requirements.
To cope with complexity, system developers
decompose systems into managable parts, called modules or components. These parts should encapsulate coherent aspects; changes in requirements should not cause changes spread all over the system. Unfortunately, there is no general system decomposition encapsulating all aspects that are subject to change. System decomposition can be done according to many dimensions, where each dimension encapsulates some aspects well whereas others are
spread over the whole system.
Composing components almost always requires adaption.
Component developers cannot anticipate the environment
a component is plugged-in;
different environments require different modularizations.
Adapting components by hand is an error prone and cumbersome task. Instead, specifications should describe necessary adaptations. Programs generated from these specifications perform the composition and adaption at hand.
Our approaches perform static as well as dynamic adaptations:
- Meta-programs defined in Java take components as
input and deliver adapted components. For that purpose,
the COMPOST
library provides basic data structures and transformations.
- Complex data is adapted at run-time: XML Schemas describe data types provided by one component and required by another, respectively. XSLT scripts define the adaption in between. A generated high speed adapter performs the actual adaption. The aXMLerate project develops such generators.
You can find an overview and detailed information
of our competences in software composition on
our software composition page.
