Resumo: | ||||||||
It is increasingly noticeable, in the current
telecommunications market, a
trend towards using communication systems that allow rapid
and cheap
deployment of new services. In pursuit of network
architectures that keep up with
such trend, significant research has been carried out on
programmable networks.
This field is set to gain further impetus from developments
in network
processor-based equipment. In this context, it is crucial
that service creation
processes be well structured and, as far as possible,
systematic. This thesis, which
is part of an ongoing project at the TeleMídia Laboratory,
PUC-Rio, adopts a
service creation approach in which techniques from Software
Architecture and
Component-Based Software Development are uniformly and
ubiquitously applied
at all levels of a communication system, ranging from high-
level service
specifications to low-level software implementation running
in network
processors. The main aim is to express adaptibility in
cross-cutting service aspects
and, meanwhile, cut down on the cognitive overhead usually
imposed upon
designers and programmers due to such multiplicity of
concerns. For the sake of
the aforementioned aim, an XML-based specification
language, called LindaX,
has been developed. Such language allows various system
aspects to be
architecturally described - by means of a single syntactic
framework for DSLs -
as well as adaptable in a constrained way - through style
structures.
Complementing the work, a toolset for handling LindaX
architecture descriptions
has been defined, which allows their refinement to
different formal languages or
their synthesis onto system configurations and adaptation
controlling mechanisms
for diverse platforms.
