Abstract

We define a core language combining computational and architectural primitives, and study how static typing may be used to ensure safety properties of component composition and dynamic reconfiguration in object-based systems. We show how our language can model typed entities analogous of configuration scripts, makefiles, components, and component instances, where static typing combined with a dynamic type-directed test on the structure of objects can enforce consistency of compositions and atomicity of reconfiguration.
