Language design for developing smart adaptive services
Nicolás Cardozo, Siobhán Clarke · 2015
Software systems deployed in a city offer services for users roaming around a city. These systems must cope with an ever changing environment, making them complex to develop, manage, and maintain. Problems encountered in the development of city-wide services include the discovery of unknown service components, the management and composition of components according to their surrounding environment, and assurances that unknown services do not compromise the system's execution. We put forward programming language design as a means to reduce the additional complexity of developing open and adaptive systems, and foster their development for smart services.
