Building Software Federations

摘要

Components Of The Shelf tools (COTS) are now widely distributed, of good quality, relatively cheap and cover most of the application domains. It is thus a surprise to consider that it is uncommon to reuse COTS when building large applications. At least it is recognized that building a large application based on COTS is a tough issue. This paper seeks to show why it is difficu it is argued that the current approaches are much too low level to reach a satisfactory solution. We expose the solution we propose to solve the different issues; and we show the early experimentation of our environment.
