Applying a domain specific language approach to component oriented programming

Abstract

A number of methods have been suggested to deal with component specification (e.g. Buichi and Sekerinski [1]), re-use (e.g Lalanda) and fault-management (e.g Baggiolini and Harms [3]). At Durham we propose the use of a Domain Oriented method in order to specify the semantic and syntactic properties of components, to provide a framework in which to re-use and re-configure the components and to provide additional optimisation and fault-tolerant behaviour.
