Abstract
A component in application is a functional unit with well-defined interfaces. It encapsulates its internal states and provides services to other components or applications. By modularizing required functions into components, a component-based system can easily reuse those components and provide a flexible application structure with dynamic reconfiguration. In this paper, we propose a component-based middleware, called MAGE, which uses a service-oriented interface to provide transparency of platform, implementation language, and location. MAGE can dynamically reconfigure its architecture to adapt to Grid environments.
