Abstract

In this paper a reuse-oriented perspective is taken to designing and implementing configurable distributed applications. An application domain is defined as a family of systems that have some features in common and others that differentiate them. During doman modeling, reusable specifications, architectures and component types are developed, which capture the similarities and variations of the family of systems that compose the application domain. Target systems are generated by tailoring the reusable specifications and architectures given the requirements of the target system, and configuring a target system based on the tailored architecture. The paper describes an approach for generating and configuring distributed applications from the domain model and a library of predefined component types.
