Abstract

Current information systems tend to be distributed into networks of quite autonomous, but cooperative, components communicating asynchronously via messages of appropriate formats. Loose binding between those components allows to establish and destroy their interconnections dynamically at runtime, on demand, and according to various aspects; to clone the components and to move them into different contexts; to create, destroy and update the components dynamically at runtime; etc. Modelling of the dynamics and mobility of components brings many issues that cannot be addressed by means of conventional architecture description languages. In this paper, a metamodel for modelling of component-based systems with mobile architecture is proposed.

Footnotes
1
The diagram in Fig. 3 does not restrict relations of BindSiblings to the interfaces of the same composite component realisations; this will be defined later by means of additional constraints in Sect. 3.4.
 
2
The private interfaces can be required by the subcomponents as their external interfaces, but they cannot pass borders of the subcomponents (nor any other component). It means that the subcomponents have to be primitive components.
 
3
Operation denotes functional interfaces, while the others denote control interfaces.
 
4
The restriction to the interface of type Operation will be defined explicitly by additional constraints in Sect. 3.4.
 
5
Each rail yard has its own instance of the tested environment with specific sensors and actuators where assigned tests are automatically executed.
 
6
Another, but less comprehensible, method is to describe the component model as an object diagram where objects in layer M1 are instances of classes from the metamodel in layer M2 and represent abstractions of entities of the CBS from layer M0.
 
7
The aim is to simplify the diagram and reuse the well-established UML notation, although it is not formally defined as an UML profile.
 
8
In the diagram in Fig. 5, only these two interfaces of test are connected with controller, because the rest of the test’s interfaces are used only during its nesting and their connections do not exist outside of controller component.
