Abstract

Distributed System design is a highly complicated andnon-trivial task. The problem is characterised by the needto design multi-threaded, multi-processor, and multimediasystems. Design frameworks such as OpenDistributed Processing (ODP), the ITU/ISO standard,define a number of viewpoints from which the design of adistributed system should be approached. To use theframework, a design language for each of theseviewpoints must be defined. This paper defines acomputational viewpoint language based on the UnifiedModelling Language (UML) and Component QualityModelling Language (CQML). The use of this approachto provide the ODP viewpoint languages enablesstandard UML tools to be used as part of an ODPcompliant design process; and in addition, it willpotentially enable the use of Meta Object Facility (MOF)based generation tools for constructing tool support forour language.
