Abstract

In this paper, we present the functionality mapping model that is used in the CASCADAS ACE model: external code libraries are transformed into services of an autonomic element. CASACDAS is an EU 6th Framework IST-FET project in the field of situated, autonomic communication; various research topics are organized around a common abstraction called Autonomic Communication Element (ACE). When designing this common abstraction, a big challenge is to define a natural, non-complex but flexible and expressive way for transforming existing code (libraries) into autonomic services of an ACE. In this paper, we introduce, explain, and discuss the developed model, and compare them with existing functionality mapping technologies.
