| Guidelines |
| SOFA 2 is a component system employing hierarchically composed components. It provides ADL-based design, behavior specification using behavior protocols, automatically generated connectors supporting seamless and transparent distribution of applications, aspect-based management logic, etc. It serves as a distributed runtime environment with dynamic update of components. Its overall design is, however, monolithic and relies on code generated at deployment and runtime. This is an obstacle for using SOFA 2 in embedded systems, which cannot hold, by their nature, big and dynamic runtime environments like SOFA 2.
The purpose of the thesis is to identify the runtime components of the SOFA 2 runtime environment with an application deployed inside. Based on this identification, the thesis should propose patterns how the application architecture influences the presence of different runtime components (core services, connectors, microcomponents, etc.) and their dependencies; further, it should validate the results on a case-study. The overall aim of this thesis is to help making SOFA 2 runtime environment more configurable, which in turn will lower the footprint and requirements of the SOFA 2 runtime environment. |
