“…Our findings in this study point in the direction of programming concepts that haven't yet been implemented in mainstream programming languages. Similar concepts have already been proposed by work in component-oriented programming (Rouvoy and Merle 2009), architectural descriptions (Aldrich et al 2002) and gradual typing (Siek and Taha 2007).…”

“…Our observations encourage the investigation of better programming language abstractions and constructions to support component-based programming. For instance, Eichberg et al (2005) and Rouvoy and Merle (2009) tried to provide better support for component-based programming through annotations in the source code (a Secondary Notation). The evaluation of this approach with our CDN instantiation is an interesting direction for future work.…”

A qualitative human-centric evaluation of flexibility in middleware implementations

Today middleware is much more powerful, more reliable and faster than it used to be. Nevertheless, for the application developer, the complexity of using middleware platforms has increased accordingly. The volume and variety of application contexts that current middleware technologies have to support require that developers be able to anticipate the widest possible range of execution environments, desired and undesired effects of different programming strategies, handling procedures for runtime errors, and so on. This paper shows how a generic framework designed to evaluate the usability of notations (the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations Framework, or CDN) has been instantiated and used to analyze the cognitive challenges involved in adapting middleware platforms. This human-centric perspective allowed us to achieve novel results compared to existing middleware evaluation research, typically centered around system performance metrics. The focus of our study is on the process of adapting middleware implementations, rather than in the end product of this activity. Our main contributions are twofold. First, we describe a qualitative CDN-based method to analyze the cognitive effort made by programmers while adapting middleware implementations. And second, we show how two platforms Empir Software Eng (2012) 17:166-199 167 designed for flexibility have been compared, suggesting that certain programming language design features might be particularly helpful for developers.

“…These are important requirements for applications that need high availability. However, despite these benefits, the adoption of this development model may represent the introduction of more obstacles in the process of software development, since the developer needs to devote efforts to the development of technical code of the specific component model that was adopted in the implementation of the application [11].…”

The development of distributed systems has become a complex task. An approach that has become widely accepted in this context is the component-based development. However, the effort aimed at developing technical code for component models and remote communications is yet a discouraging obstacle. In this paper we present HighFrame, a framework that provides to developers a high level development solution for component-based distributed systems. The framework is designed to provide automatic generation of components based on code annotations and a graphical planner. This proposal abstracts from developer the complexity of component models, methods of distributed communication and interoperability among different models.

Abstract-Software components are used in various application domains, and many component models and frameworks have been proposed to fulfill domain-specific requirements. The ad-hoc development of these component frameworks hampers the reuse of tools and abstractions across different frameworks. We believe that in order to promote the reuse of components within various domain contexts an homogeneous design approach is needed. A key requirement of such an approach is the definition and validation of reusable domain-specific constraints. In this paper we propose an extension to the Hulotte component framework that allows the definition and checking of domain-specific concerns. From the components' architecture to their implementations, concerns are defined and checked in an homogeneous manner. Our approach is illustrated and evaluated through the design of an example component-based application for the multitasking and distributed domains.
