CONFIGURATION FRAGMENTS AS THE DNA OF SYSTEM AND CHANGE PROPERTIES - Architectural Change of Component-based and Service-oriented Systems

Abstract

The concept of a Configuration Fragment is adopted to help address the challenge of managing the different kinds of dependencies that exist during the evolution of component-based and service-oriented systems. Based upon a model of Architectural Change and an example of an application-specific context, Configuration Fragments are defined in order to express and reconcile change properties with respect to existing system properties. During system evolution, Configuration Fragments enable the configuration of Service and Service Protocol, Operation and Provided Service, Operation and Required Service, Operation and Operation, Operation and State Element, Operation and Composite Component, Component and Component, and Required Service and Provided Service dependencies. This occurs through configuration leading to association, disassociation, or refinement of these system elements.
