Dynamic Component Composition in .NET.

Abstract

Components have brought with them the notion of services which let the programmer concentrate on the business behavior of his component while the non functional part (i.e. the services) is the responsibility of the platform provider. Thus services are not reusable throughout the different platforms; the mechanism used to integrate them in the component is totally platform dependant. In this paper we propose a model to define the integration of services and describe its implementation in the .NET framework. We also discuss the facilities offered by the .NET platform in comparison with the first implementation of this model which was in Java.

Wcomp: a Multi-Design Approach for Prototyping Applications using Heterogeneous Resources

“…An interaction server is in charge of managing the life cycle of interactions such as their registration, their instantiation, their destruction and their merging. Noah Interaction Server [12] is the name given to the implementation of the interaction server.…”

“…The calculation of the composition of interactions requires the definition of (only) twenty-seven rules for combining eight operators : sequence, parallelism, conditional, waiting, signaling, message, call and delegation (see [12] for further details). Those rules tell how each operator combines with one another.…”
