Abstract
Currently the strongest support in industry for component-based frameworks appears with Microsoft’s component architecture (COM)[1]. However with COM it is difficult to program for evolution or adaptation. It is common for class identifiers to be bound into component structures, naming services are limited and there is no support for trading of services in distributed environments. CORBA[2] has basic support for these services in the form of a trader specification and type repositories but there is little industry adoption of these services. By integrating such services into the programming model for a component architecture we believe that we can provide a more practical and useful industrial-strength approach to the construction and deployment of component-based distributed applications.
