Component Based Systems and Coordination Sample Clauses

Component Based Systems and Coordination. The concept of component based systems, especially component-based software, is a new phi- losophy or way of thinking to deal with the complexity in designing large scale computing systems[13, 135]. One of the main goals of this approach is to compose reusable compo- nents by some glue code. The model or the way in which these components are composed is called a coordination model. Thus, a component-based system has two main parts: a set of components and a coordinating subsystem. What are Components? A component is defined as a unit of computation that can be used independently and is subject to composition by a third party [135]. To be used indepen- dently, a clear distinction of the component from its environment and the other components is required. Thus, the component communicates with its environment through its interface. The interface of a component can be defined as a specification of its access points [135]. Therefore, a component is a black box computing system that communicates with the other components and its environment through its interface by which it offers its provided services. What is Coordination? A component based system needs connections and interactions among its components. The main goal of coordination is to manage the interaction among the components. Thus, coordination can be defined as the study of the dynamic topologies of interactions among components, and the construction of protocols to realize such topologies that ensure well-behavedness [15]. The task of coordination can be realized using different ways of communication, manage- ment and control strategies, methods of creation and termination of computational activities, and ways of synchronization of components. A set of definite choices for all of these different aspects is referred as a coordination model. Furthermore, a coordination language is the linguistic formalism that is used to specify a coordination model. Thus, a coordination language offers facilities for the specification of the ways of controlling synchronization, communication, creation and termination of compu- tational activities, and other aspects of the coordination model. There are many languages and models for coordination which provide formal description of the glue code for plugging components together. Coordination models and languages can be classified in different categories using (at least) three different aspects [15]: 2.1. Component Based Systems and Coordination 15 Dataflow-oriented versus...

  • Access Toll Connecting Trunk Group Architecture 9.2.1 If CSTC chooses to subtend a Verizon access Tandem, CSTC’s NPA/NXX must be assigned by CSTC to subtend the same Verizon access Tandem that a Verizon NPA/NXX serving the same Rate Center Area subtends as identified in the LERG. 9.2.2 CSTC shall establish Access Toll Connecting Trunks pursuant to applicable access Tariffs by which it will provide Switched Exchange Access Services to Interexchange Carriers to enable such Interexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic to and from CSTC’s Customers. 9.2.3 The Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be two-way trunks. Such trunks shall connect the End Office CSTC utilizes to provide Telephone Exchange Service and Switched Exchange Access to its Customers in a given LATA to the access Tandem(s) Verizon utilizes to provide Exchange Access in such LATA. 9.2.4 Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be used solely for the transmission and routing of Exchange Access to allow CSTC’s Customers to connect to or be connected to the interexchange trunks of any Interexchange Carrier which is connected to a Verizon access Tandem.
