Abstract:
As more and more computers are connected to the global Internet,
users increasingly expect omnipresent access to their data and to their
favorite applications. But existing programming paradigms as well as
operating and middleware systems are not prepared for omnipresent
applications. We propose a system called Virtual Private Computing
(VPC) which addresses the requirements of omnipresent, globally
distributed applications. This paper will primarily concentrate on the
component-based programming model of the VPC. It uses an architecture
description language (ADL) that clearly distinguishes between the
concepts of components types, component implementations and
applications. The ADL allows the VPC runtime mechanisms to efficiently
and automatically partition, distribute and bind VPC applications on
demand.
