Abstract

In recent years we have been experiencing a tremendous change in software development processes, where new systems are built by utilizing distributed, possibly heterogeneous, components. In this paper, we propose an infrastructure and a meta programming environment that allows for distributed components to be integrated, in a fully customizable manner, into Web-enabled environments. In particular, we propose an architecture that conforms to the event-condition-action paradigm. A set of event-condition-action rules combined with a rule enac驴ent engine serves as a driver that determines the transaction logic by which remote services are invoked. A prototype system using the proposed architecture applied to the domain of e-commerce is also presented.
