Adaptation of Software Entities for Synchronous Exogenous Coordination - An Initial Approach

Abstract. In this paper we present an ongoing work on a framework for adaptation of heterogeneous software entities to allow their integration together with the help of synchronous connectors. By using synchronous connectors for software integration, we intend to make it possible to significantly reduce the time and money spent for programming fortifi-cations against unwanted behavior, as compared to the time and money spent for programming explicit business scenarios. In this paper, we de-scribe our initial approach to how one can adapt a large class of existing software entities that offer standard RPC-style operational interfaces, for integration through an arbitrary synchronous Reo connector. 1
