Abstract :
Dynamic reconfiguration is absorbing more and more research focus for its increasing demand in inconstant distributed application. In This work we propose a routing based workflow to model the dataflow, runtime state and control management of cooperating components. Routing based workflow successfully realizes dynamic reconfiguration by the way of modifying routing structure and simplifies the hard problem of maintaining consistence into rather easy issue of synchronization. A detailed analysis is also given to show the great flexibility for construction of software architecture and potential applications.
