“…For the sake of this paper, we make some assumptions and we investigate the related underling research problems as part of Connect. We assume to know the interaction protocols run by two networked components as Labeled Transition Systems (LTS) [14] and the components' interfaces with which to interact as advertised or as result of learning techniques [5,19]. We also assume a semantic correspondence between the messages exchanged among components exploiting ontologies.…”

Abstract.A key objective for ubiquitous environments is to enable system interoperability between system's components that are highly heterogeneous. In particular, the challenge is to embed in the system architecture the necessary support to cope with behavioral diversity in order to allow components to coordinate and communicate. In this paper we present the design building blocks for the dynamic and on-the-fly interoperability between heterogeneous components. Specifically, we describe an Architectural Pattern called Mediating Connector, that is the key enabler for communication. In addition, we present a set of Basic Mediator Patterns, that describe the basic mismatches which can occur when components try to interact, and their corresponding solutions.

Abstract. Highly dynamic and heterogeneous distributed systems are challenging today's middleware technologies. Existing middleware paradigms are unable to deliver on their most central promise, which is offering interoperability. In this paper, we argue for the need to dynamically synthesise distributed system infrastructures according to the current operating environment, thereby generating "Emergent Middleware" to mediate interactions among heterogeneous networked systems that interact in an ad hoc way. The paper outlines the overall architecture of Enablers underlying Emergent Middleware, and in particular focuses on the key role of learning in supporting such a process, spanning statistical learning to infer the semantics of networked system functions and automata learning to extract the related behaviours of networked systems.

Abstract. We will demonstrate the impact of the integration of our most recently developed learning technology for inferring Register Automata into the LearnLib, our framework for active automata learning. This will not only illustrate the unique power of Register Automata, which allows one to faithfully model data independent systems, but also the ease of enhancing the LearnLib with new functionality.
