An Adaptation Logic Framework for Java-based Component Systems

Abstract: This paper describes a Java-based framework for developing componentbased software systems supporting adaptation with logic laws and considering component interactions as a first-class aspect. On the one side, the framework makes it possible to specify the logic of interaction at the component-level, in terms of input and output interfaces, the events generated and observed by a component, and related information about the management of the control flow. On the other side, it is possible to specify the logic of interaction at the inter-component level, providing a modelling and linguistic support for designing and (dynamically) programming the glue among the components, enabling general forms of adaptation, observation and construction of the interaction space. As a result, the framework supports the adaptation of components at different levels: from interoperability among heterogeneous and unknown components, to the support
