Abstract

Mobility has become a new factor of complexity in the construction and evolution of software systems. In this paper, we report on the extensions that we have made to CommUnity, a prototype language for architectural description, with modelling techniques that support the incremental and compositional construction of location-aware systems. We illustrate, around an example, how the proposed extensions lead to a true separation of concerns between computation, coordination and distribution in architectural models.
