A CORBA-based dynamic reconfigurable middleware

Abstract

The widespread Internet and mobile applications demand increasing requirements for easy and flexible to reconfigure a deployed system during run time. The middleware proposed to help programmer developing distributed application automatically inherits these demands and requirements. In his paper we present a CORBA based middleware system that adopts our technology of Routing Based Workflow (RBW). RBW has modeled the execution environment of cooperative components. Within RBW component instances are temporally bound to routing for their functionality execution. It is the temporal binding makes the dynamic reconfiguration of software components easy to realize and greatly simplify the hard problems of preserving consistency. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
