DISTRIBUTED DYNAMIC INTEGRATION OF OPEN ARCHITECTURE SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper proposes a new paradigm called 'distributed dynamic integration' that attempts to dynamically implement system integration according to different application stages, system modules, and computing modes wherein each process stage possesses several characteristics. The concept, modelling, structure, and strategies of distributed dynamic integration are discussed. To incorporate the concept of distributed dynamic integration, two new methodologies, namely 'activity model' and 'multiple-concept object-oriented method', are presented. Based on an appropriate combination of the advantages of both the activity model and the "object-oriented methods, activity-characterised objects and object-characterized activities are developed and applied in the construction of reusable sub-systems employed in the distributed dynamic integration. A machining simulation/monitoring application system that complies with the distributed dynamic integration strategies is designed to illustrate the effectiveness of such a paradigm.
