Towards a Calculus of State-based Software Components
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a calculus of state-based software components modelled as concrete coalgebras for some Set endofunctors, with specified initial conditions. The calculus is parametrized by a notion of behaviour, introduced as a strong (usually commutative) monad. The proposed component model and calculus are illustrated through the characterisation of a particular class of components, classified as separable, which includes the ones arising in the so-called model oriented approach to systems’ design.

Relating -calculus to Object-Z
Software systems have become increasingly distributed, dynamic and mobile. The complex state and dynamic interfaces of software components and their concurrent interactions provide challenging research issues in system specification and design. An effective combination of structured state-based formalism and dynamic action-based calculus may be a good solution for modeling complex distributed m...
متن کاملA Calculus for Modeling Software Components
Many competing definitions of software components have been proposed over the years, but still today there is only partial agreement over such basic issues as granularity (are components bigger or smaller than objects, packages, or application?), instantiation (do components exist at run-time or only at compile-time?), and state (should we distinguish between components and “instances” of compo...
متن کاملComponents as coalgebras: The refinement dimension
This paper characterizes refinement of state-based software components modeled as pointed coalgebras for some Set endofunctors. The proposed characterization is parametric on a specification of the underlying behaviour model introduced as a strong monad. This provides a basis to reason about (and transform) state-based software designs. In particular it is shown how refinement can be applied to...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Creep-damage Constitutive Model of Mudstone Based on the Fractional Calculus Theory
During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage evolution rules, a fractional nonlinear creep-damage model is proposed to reflect the instantaneous deformation in loading processes and the accelerat...
متن کاملA Coalgebraic Calculus for Component Based Systems
In this paper we describe the coalgebraic models for state-based software components and componentbased systems. The behaviour patterns of components are specified by strong monads. A family of operators for combining components based on the category of coalgebras are defined and a set of algebraic laws are also presented to specify the properties being satisfied by these operators.
