Abstract

The paper presents a model-based approach to support the design of component based distributed applications through the provision of a suitable MOF based meta model in combination with a UML profile as supporting notation and code generation rules for CORBA-middleware platforms. The meta-model enables structural definitions of object types whose implementations are contained in components. It supports the specification of their configuration properties as well as interaction policies for communication between these objects. The modeling concepts also allow for the combination of different interaction types, which are operational, signal and continuous media interaction
