Abstract
The concept of collaborations capturing dynamic aspects of a distributed system across agent boundaries is elaborated in the context of SDL-2000. Several ways of composing collaborations are introduced, with collaborations being implicitly represented as SDL fragments. A new language for their explicit formal description, called CoSDL (Collaborations in SDL systems) is then introduced and illustrated.
Keywords
- State Machine
- Basic Service
- Sequential Composition
- Compositional Operator
- Connection Request
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
The work reported here was conducted while all authors were working at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
