Unified Meta-Component Model for Distributed Systems
Distributed computing systems (DCS) are omnipresent in today's world.They
assist in ensuring a smooth operation of any organization by encapsulating
its collective knowledge and presenting this knowledge in the form of
a distributed information grid. In near future, many more organizations
will contain a large number of DCS. Hence, the success of these organizations
will depend upon their abilities to create robust and effective software
for their DCS. Despite the achievements in software engineering, the software
development for large-scale de-centralized systems is still a major challenge.The
vision of the UniFrame research is to address this challenge by automating
the development of such DCS using the principles of component-based systems,
model-driven architecture, and generative programming.
The trinity of the UniFrame research is:
- a) investigation of architectural based interoperability
- b) design of an efficient distributed discovery system
- c) validation of the quality attributes of components
UniFrame is a multi-university project that has been supported in part by the Office
of Naval Research and the Indigo Foundation.
