Research on agent-based Middleware component composition mechanism

摘要

Component-based software engineering is envisioned as a general software paradigm for the application style of resources integration and sharing in the open, dynamic and uncertain platforms such as the Internet, Continuing the agent-based Middleware model presented in a previous paper, in this paper, after an analysis of the behavioral patterns and the technical challenges of environment-driven applications, an Agent-base Middleware model is proposed for component composition applications. A series of explorations on the enabling techniques for the model, especially the modeling, management and utilization of context information are presented. These research efforts make a further step toward the Middleware paradigm by providing an initial framework for the construction of context-aware and self-adaptive software application systems in the open network environment.
