Formal Semantics and Analysis of Component Connectors in Reo
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an operational semantics for a component composition language called Reo. Reo connectors exogenously compose and coordinate the interactions among individual components that comprise a complex system, into a coherent collaboration. The formal semantics we present here paves the way for a rigorous study of the behavior of component composition mechanisms. To demonstrate the feasibility of such a rigorous approach, we give a faithful translation of Reo semantics into the Maude term rewriting language. This translation allows us to exploit the rewriting engine and the model-checking module in the Maude tool-set to symbolically run and model-check the behavior of Reo connectors.

Specification, Simulation, and Verification of Component Connectors in Reo
Coordination and composition of components is an essential concern in component-based software engineering. In this paper, we present an operational semantics for a component composition language called Reo. Reo connectors exogenously compose and coordinate the interactions among individual components, that unawarely comprise a complex system, into a coherent collaboration. The formal semantics...
متن کاملA Constraint-based Method to Compute Semantics of Channel-based Coordination Models
Reo is an exogenous channel-based coordination language that acts as glue code to tie together software components and services. The building blocks of Reo models are connectors that impose constraints on the data-flow in component or service-based architectures in terms of data synchronization, buffering, mutual exclusion, etc. Several semantic models have been introduced to formalize the beha...
متن کاملA Specification Language for Reo Connectors
Recent approaches to component-based software engineering employ coordinating connectors to compose components into software systems. Reo is a model of component coordination, wherein complex connectors are constructed by composing various types of primitive channels. Reo automata are a simple and intuitive formal model of contextdependent connectors, which provided a compositional semantics fo...

Over the past years, the need for high-confidence coordinationmechanisms has intensified as new technologies have appeared for the development of service-oriented applications, making formalization of coordination mechanisms critical. Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) provide a formal semantic foundation not only for programming languages but also for various expressive specification langu...
متن کاملFrom Timed Reo Networks to Networks of Timed Automata
The Reo coordination language is an extensible graphical notation for component or service coordination wherein independent autonomous software entities exchange data through a connector or a network imposing synchronization and data constraints on those entities. Each connector is formed from a set of binary connectors, called channels, with precise semantics and, thus, amenable to formal veri...
