Automating the Dynamic Interactions of Self-governed Components in Distributed Architectures

摘要

The ongoing digitalization and penetration of the Web into each aspect of software development creates new possibilities and challenges. The flexible reuse of components promises to drastically reduce the implementation and maintenance effort. But growing complexity in terms of variety and dynamic changes bring monolithic approaches to their limits. In this paper, an approach is presented which enables components in distributed systems to observe, judge and independently react to dynamic changes in their neighborhood. Reducing the overall complexity to smaller and easier to manage subproblems leads to more flexible and reliable systems. The target is a delegation of decision making to the single components.
