Book ChapterDOI
Middleware-layer Connector Synthesis: Beyond State of the Art in Middleware Interoperability
TL;DR: This chapter introduces the approach that is investigated within the Connect project and that deals with the dynamic synthesis of emergent connectors that mediate the interaction protocols executed by the networked systems.
Book ChapterDOI
The role of ontologies in emergent middleware: supporting interoperability in complex distributed systems
Gordon S. Blair,Amel Bennaceur,Nikolaos Georgantas,Paul Grace,Valérie Issarny,Vatsala Nundloll,Massimo Paolucci +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that complexity is now at a level such that existing approaches are inadequate and that a major re-think is required to identify principles and associated techniques to achieve interoperability, the central property of distributed systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of models@run.time in supporting on-the-fly interoperability
TL;DR: This paper focuses on this novel use of models at runtime, examining in detail the nature of such runtime models coupled with consideration of the supportive algorithms and tools that extract this knowledge and use it to synthesise the appropriate emergent middleware.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated Synthesis of Mediators to Support Component Interoperability
Amel Bennaceur,Valérie Issarny +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an approach based on ontology reasoning and constraint programming in order to infer mappings between components' interfaces automatically and synthesise a mediator that coordinates the computed mappings so as to make the components interact properly.
Book ChapterDOI
Mechanisms for leveraging models at runtime in self-adaptive software
Amel Bennaceur,Giordano Tamburrelli,Thomas Vogel,Pieter J. Mosterman,Walter Cazzola,Fábio M. Costa,Alfonso Pierantonio,Matthias Tichy,Mehmet Aksit,Pär Emmanuelson,Huang Gang,Nikolaos Georgantas,David Redlich +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss challenges associated with developing effective mechanisms for supervising running systems, reasoning about and planning adaptations, maintaining consistency among multiple runtime models, and maintaining fidelity of runtime models with respect to the running system and its environment.
