Abstract

Nowadays, execution environments of applications are more and more heterogeneous: from powerful servers to smart cards. In order to assume the heterogeneity and the portability of applications, the component–based model has emerged as a model to develop new distributed applications. Thus, these applications are built as an assembly of interchangeable software blocks. Nevertheless, the gain of adaptability that comes from the use of component does not stretch to non-functional services (such as transaction management, security, etc). So, we suggest complementing the existing solution by facilitating the adaptability of non-functional services to their environment. Therefore, we propose to design a non-functional service as composition of small components. Besides, it is possible to supply the most appropriate version of a non-functional service to an application. So, in our approach, the application is composed by assembling both business components and non-functional components.
