SOFTWARE INTERACTIONS INTO THE SSCLI PLATFORM

ABSTRACT: By using an Interaction Specification Language (ISL), interactions between components can be expressed in a language independent way. At class level, interaction pattern specified in ISL represent models of future interactions when applied on some component,instances. The Interaction Server is in charge of managing,the life cycle of interactions (interaction pattern registration and instantiation, destruction of interactions, merging). It acts as a central repository that keeps the global coherency of the adaptations realized on the component,instances. The Interaction service allows creating interactions between,heterogeneous components.,Noah is an implementation,of this Interaction Service. It can be thought as a dynamic,aspect repository with a weaver that uses an aspect composition mechanism that insures commutable and associative adaptations. In this paper, we propose the implementation,of the Interaction Service in the SSCLI. In contrast to other implementations,such as Java where interaction management represents an additional layer, SSCLI enables us to integrate Interaction Management as in intrinsic part of the CLI runtime.
