Abstract

The emerging infrastructures supporting transparent use of heterogeneous distributed resources enable the design of a new class of applications. These meta-applications are composed of distributed software components. In this paper we describe a new model for component based meta-application design based on a formal architectural description of the gross organization of an application. This structural description is enriched by a formal process algebraic characterization of component behavior. Using this behavioral model we can formally check meta-applications in an early development phase. We present simple architectural styles developed to support data-flow and control-flow driven meta-application design on top of the Amica metacomputing infrastructure.
