Integration of Non-Functional Properties in Containers
Denis Conan, Erik Putrycz, Nicolas Farcet, Miguel DeMiguel · 2001
Designers and developers try to build stable and multi-domain software components while the software infrastructure they use keeps evolving thus becoming heterogeneous. This can be called “the business and technical life cycle mismatch”. The paper shows where and why middleware technologies fail to match the business and technical life cycles. Then it demonstrates that lots of the nice features of software components are allowed thanks to the concept of container. The container is an entity visible as much during software component development as during its execution. Some of its properties must be taken into account in software architectures and design model.
