Abstract

In this paper we discuss the mapping of an Architecture Description Language, ZCL, to an environment for configuring distributed application using CORBA components, LuaSpace. We focus on the mapping of the structural properties of ZCL and LuaSpace. In order to deal with compatibility issues, we propose an extension to ZCL. The result of this work is an integrated environment that combines the flexibility and execution platform provided by LuaSpace with a tool for design and for consistency checking - ZCL. The experience in combining an ADL with a configuration based environment can give clues on how integrating the activities of design and implementation during the lifetime of a software system.
