Coordination of Dynamic Software Components with JavaBIP

Distributed, cooperating software agents are useful in many problem domains, such as task automation and work coordination in process-centered environments. We describe a visual language for specifying such software agents, which uses the composition of event-based software components. These specifications may contain interfaces to remotely executing agents, and agents may be run locally or on distributed machines using a decentralized software architecture. As facilities to configure and monitor the state and activities of such distributed, cooperating software agents is essential, we provide primarily visual capabilities to achieve this. Our static and dynamic software agent visualization techniques have been used on several projects where distributed information processing, system interfacing, work coordination and task automation are required. We illustrate our visualization techniques with examples from these domains.

Functional Components

Software product lines (SPL) dynamic configuring process could use methods for recommendation system (RS) elaboration. An overview and analysis of such methods was done in this paper. SPL represent a set of software systems that have common and variable functional components and use a set of paradigms and methods for development. In the classical static SPL the process of configuring performed before executing and performing in the operation environment (OE), in contrast dynamic software product lines performs after executing in the OE. Through the use of which it is possible to customize software solutions in accordance with the needs of end users. The following possible methods to build RS were considered: clustering, Markov decision-making process, matrix factorization. According to the review of the intelligent RS method development and researching of the functionalities of such systems in some open-source projects it was proposed to use N-dimensional context-dependent tensor factorization method and CARSkit tool system. Functional requirements and software architecture of the RS were developed. It allows to automatize software components configuration in the „Smart Home” (SH) systems that could be implemented with CARSkit software toolkit and algorithms implemented with programming language Python. This implementation allows to build a process for tracking changes in the external environment and transfer information to the SH system and, after analyzing the input data, process it in the RS to track changes in the context information. In the future research some additional quantitative experiments will be performed considering the specifics of the SH systems, additionally quantitative metrics will be used for efficiency assessment of the tensor factorization algorithms to predict the dynamic configurations of software components in these systems. Keywords: recommendation system, software product line, variability, dynamic configuration, architecture.

Recent Trends

In these days most of the software development uses preexisting software components. This approach provides plenty of benefits over the traditional development. Most of the software industries uses their own domain based software libraries where components resides in the form of modules, codes, executable file, documentations, test plans which may be used as it is or with minor changes. Due to shrinking time and high demand of software development it is necessary to use pre tested software components to ensure high functionality in software developed. Software components can be used very easily and without having the worries of errors and bugs because these are developed under expert supervision and well tested. What we have to do is just embed these components in our project. In this paper a survey got conducted over 112 software developer,testers and freelancers. In survey several issues in CBSD were identified. An efficient repository along with a component search engine is developed. All the component retrieval techniques were evaluated and compared with precise and recall method.

New System

Software reuse can improve software quality with the reducing cost and development time. Systematic reuse plan enhances cohesion and reduces coupling for better testability and maintainability. Software reuse approach can be adopted at the highest extent if relevant software components can be easily searched, adapted and integrated into new system. Large software industries hold their own well managed component libraries containing well tested software component with the project category based classification .Access to these repositories are very limited. Software reuse is facing so many problems and still not so popular. This is due to issues of general access, efficient search and adoption of software component. This paper propose a framework which resolves all of the above issues with providing easy access to components, efficient incremental semantics based search, repository management, versioning of components.
