In this paper, we present Reo, which forms a paradigm for composition of software
components based on the notion of mobile channels. Reo is a channel-based exogenous …

Abstracts A new class of models, formalisms, and mechanisms has recently evolved for

The notion of Abstract Data Type (ADT) has served as a foundation model for structured and
object oriented programming for some thirty years. The current trend in software engineering …

In existing component models, control originates in components, and connectors are
channels for passing on the control to other components. This provides a mechanism for …

Reuse and integration of heterogeneous software parts are promises of Component-Based
Software Development. However, current industrial approaches suffer from a limited support …

We have recently seen a renewal of interest in the field of software architectures. This has
happened within the object-oriented community-with the emergenceofframe works and …
