Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the development tools available in the Construct component-based structural computing environment. In particular, we focus on the most recent development tool that generates IDL specifications from UML diagrams (UML Tool). The development tools lower the entry barrier for service developers by allowing high level specification of new services in UML or IDL and by auto-generating much of the component source code based on well-defined design patterns and templates. The paper is organized into five parts: an introduction to the research area, a brief description of the Construct development environment, a brief overview of UML Tool, a detailed scenario using the development environment, and, finally, our conclusions.
