Modeling Dynamic/Emergent Distributed Object Systems |
pan pacific hotel governor general d |
Modeling dynamic and emergent distributed systems is beyond the capability of today's modeling methodologies and tools. Analyzing, designing, developing, and managing dynamic/emergent distributed object systems; systems in which new components and objects are added, removed, and change throughout the lifetime of the system, is becoming an increasingly important and difficult task. There has been an explosion of use and research in distributed object and agent systems. Additionally, we are witnessing the convergence of the distributed object and web technologies. Thus, ubiquitous dynamic distributed computation is just around the corner, but current methodologies are inadequate in their ability to describe the complex systems and interactions exhibited in today's more complex systems.
The goal of this workshop is to assess the usability and completeness of current leading-edge methodologies for dynamic/emergent distributed systems, and to raise issues and discuss requirements for the further evolution of current, as well as future, object methodologies.
