Abstract
Quality of service (QoS)-enabled publish/subscribe services are available in component middleware platforms, such as the CORBA Component Model (CCM). Today, however, these platforms lack a simple and intuitive way to integrate publish/subscribe service configurations and deployments. This paper illustrates how generative model-driven techniques and tools can automate many service configuration and deployment tasks associated with integrating publish/subscribe services into QoS-enabled component-based systems. We evaluatethese techniques in the context of a real-time avionics mission computing problem involving a system with over 50 components. Our evaluation finds that an automated model-driven configuration of a reusable component middleware framework not only significantly reduces handwritten code and but also simultaneously achieves high reusability and composability of CCM components.
