DICE (DIstributed Constraint Environment) is a framework for the construction of distributed constraint solvers from software components in a number of predefined categories. The...
In this paper we study an assemble-to-order environment involving a short-life-cycle product. The product is sold in two different configurations, each requiring a unique componen...
Mobile active computational entities introduce peculiar problems in the coordination of distributed application components. The paper surveys several coordination models for mobil...
Abstract. Constraint automata have been used as an operational model for component connectors that coordinate the cooperation and communication of the components by means of a netw...
Abstract. Recent approaches to component-based software engineering employ coordinating connectors to compose components into software systems. For maximum flexibility and reuse, s...
