Plug-in frameworks facilitate the development of customizable and extensible software, yet they often lack support for flexible and dynamic (re)configuration. We have created Plux.NET, a novel plug-in framework for plug-and-play composition. In Plux, a composer replaces programmatic composition with automatic composition. Components just specify their requirements and provisions using metadata, and...
The component-based approach to software design and development is being focused on. By analyzing the main ideas of this approach, their currently existing implementations, their limitations and promising lines of development we suggest a new component architecture which extends capabilities of existing component technologies. The main principles for building such architecture are described.
Unexpected infinite loop during software deployment period is an undesirable for every organization since it can cause critical damages in various aspects. Most of the current protection methods will perform during the software development process using verification and validation processes. However, these methods will not cover the dynamic loop control mechanism where the termination of the loop...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are an indispensable tool for marine scientists to study the world's oceans. The Slocum glider is a buoyancy driven AUV designed for missions that can last weeks or even months. Although successful, its hardware and layered control architecture is rather limited and difficult to program. Due to limits in its hardware and software infrastructure, the Slocum glider...
Component-oriented techniques have been increasingly used in software engineering. They have been used to solve distributed computing problems. However, in automation world, these techniques have not been implemented to solve distributed control problems. This paper proposes a component-oriented architecture of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for applying into distributed control...
Software production line can be created by integrated framework which can integrate software tools, software components, software services, and collaboration mechanism. It can be used as one of the important software reuse techniques. This paper provides the definitions and differentiations of software product line, software production line and plugin architecture. A platform independent model of...
