The implementation of communication protocols is an important development task that appears frequently in software projects. This article is a vision paper that describes the components of the current available implementation strategies and problems that arise. The article introduces the main existing protocol engineering techniques and puts them into the context of model driven software development. At the end a methodology is introduced for the automatic generation of manager interfaces of Device Agent protocols for the use in a distributed component oriented environment, using ASN.1 and SDL.

SUMMARYComponent oriented software has become a useful tool to build larger and more complex systems by describing the application in terms of encapsulated, loosely-coupled entities called components. At the same time, asynchronous programming patterns allow for the development of efficient distributed applications. While several component models and frameworks have been proposed, most of them tightly integrate the component model with the middleware they run upon. This intertwining is generally implicit and not discussed, leading to entangled, hard to maintain code. This article describes our efforts in the development of the GCM/ProActive framework for providing distributed and adaptable autonomous components. GCM/ProActive integrates a component model designed for execution on large scale environments, with a programming model based on active objects allowing a high degree of distribution and concurrency. This new integrated model provides a more powerful development, composition, and execution environment than other distributed component frameworks. We illustrate that GCM/ProActive is particularly adapted to the programming of autonomic component systems, and to the integration into a service oriented environment.

“…Furthermore, the generation process assimilates EPLang statements into Java while employing the interoperability of EPLang‐J, ADL‐J, and CDL‐J languages. This is achieved by a Stratego program that works in three transformation stages; the first one evaluates pure EPLang statements as follows: code imports are conducted, then, to simplify latter transformation to Java, statements are converted into a canonical form (this includes ‘inlining’ of control statements whenever statically possible). This particular sequence of transformation steps ensures that the whole process converges: composed EPLang statements are step‐by‐step simplified and finally transformed into primitive EPLang statements, which are further solely converted into Java.…”

SUMMARYThis paper has been motivated by experience gained with specification and code generation of control elements for a software component platform and general‐purpose programming language like Java and C. The problem to be addressed is two‐fold: first, several domain‐specific languages (DSL) are to be employed to express different element concerns (architecture, deployment context, code pattern) and second, porting to another general‐purpose language should avoid modification of the specification and related code generation process as much as possible. In both respects, the classical template‐based code generation technique proved to be inflexible, requiring the code generator to be blurred with ad hoc encoded DSL facets. The paper addresses the problem by introducing the concept of interoperable DSL family. Each member of the family is built around its core language, which can be further specialized by embedding into a target programming language. Interoperability of these DSLs is achieved at the level of abstract syntax trees (ASTs) with help of queries. As a proof of the concept, we have implemented the queries via the AST transformation rules of the Stratego/XT framework. In the evaluation, we provide a comparison with the original template‐based implementation, which clearly indicates the DSL family and AST transformation benefits. We also provide examples of application areas where the concept of interoperable DSL family can be employed (and also indicate how this can be accomplished). Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
