Developing Mobile Ambients Using an Aspect-Oriented Software Architectural Model

چکیده
Nowadays, distributed and mobile systems are acquiring greater importance and becoming more widely used to support ubiquitous computing. However, developing systems of this kind is a difficult task. Instead of concentrating on how problems should be solved developers must worry about implementation details. Ambient Calculus is a formalism that provides primitives to describe mobile systems in an abstract way. Aspect-oriented software development and software architectures promise to achieve reusability, maintenance and adaptability, which are all essential for the development of distributed systems. In this paper, we present how a platform-independent model called Ambient-PRISMA combines both Ambient Calculus and AspectOriented Software Architecture for the specification of distributed and mobile systems. A platform-specific model in .Net for supporting Ambient-PRISMA code generation is also presented.

Designing Mobile Aspect- Oriented Software Architectures with Ambients
This chapter focuses on designing software architectures of mobile applications using an Aspect-Oriented Architecture Description Language (AOADL). The AOADL follows an approach called Ambient-PRISMA which enables designers to address, in an explicit and abstract way, the notion of location and mobility. Concretely, the AOADL extends the PRISMA AOADL by introducing a primitive called an ambient...

Nowadays, distributed and mobile systems are acquiring importance and becoming widely extended for supporting ubiquitous computing. In order to develop such systems in a technology-independent way, it is important to have a formalism that describes distribution and mobility at a high abstraction level. Ambient Calculus is a formalism that allows the representation of boundaries where computatio...

As software engineering moves into its fourth decade, system software suffers from many of the strengths and some of the frailties that are experienced by humans. Software engineering approaches its midlife with many accomplishments already achieved, but with significant work yet to do. Aspect-oriented models have shown to be an effective means of capturing and communicating system software des...
متن کاملAn aspect-oriented software architecture for code mobility
Mobile agents have come forward as a technique for tackling the complexity of open distributed applications. However, the pervasive nature of code mobility implies that it cannot be modularized using only object-oriented (OO) concepts. In fact, developers frequently evidence the presence of mobility tangling and scattering in their modules. Despite these problems, they usually rely on OO applic...
