Abstract:
In this state of the art report, we review advances in distributed
component technologies, such as the Enterprise Java Beans
specification and the CORBA Component Model. We assess the state of
industrial practice in the use of distributed components. We
show several architectural styles for whose implementation distributed
components have been used successfully. We review the use of iterative
and incremental development processes and the notion of model driven
architecture. We then assess the state of the art in
research into novel software engineering methods and tools for the
modelling, reasoning and deployment of distributed components. The
open problems identified during this review result in the formulation of a
research agenda that will contribute to the systematic engineering of
distributed systems based on component technologies.
