“…A framework is composed of a kernel subsystem, which is common to all the applications that may be generated within the framework, and variation points, which represent areas of variability within a framework that can be adapted or extended to provide application specific behavior [Codenie97]. They are the means by which frameworks provide the flexibility to build many different applications within a domain.…”

Cite this column as follows: Cortés M., Fontoura M., Lucena C. "A Rule-Based Approach to Framework Evolution", AbstractFramework development is very expensive, not only because of the intrinsic difficulty related to capturing the domain knowledge, but also because of the lack of appropriate methods and techniques to support the evolution of the framework architecture. In this context, we introduce the concept of extension rules. Extension rules allow the addition of new features into the framework design, making sure the consistency with the applications previously instantiated. We propose the use of extension rules in combination with the refactoring approach to support framework evolution. In addition, we propose a methodology to prove the correctness of evolution processes. The approach is illustrated through Avestruz, a framework for web searching.

Framework development is very expensive, not only because of the intrinsic difficulty related to capturing the domain knowledge, but also because of the lack of appropriate methods and techniques to support the evolution of the framework architecture. Extension rules in combination with the refactoring approach can be used to support framework evolution, assuring consistency with the previously instantiated applications. In this paper we present a refactoring tool that has been extended to support most complex refactorings to implement the extension rules. This feature allows framework redesign and evolution that are consistent with its application instances.

“…In the DSL approach, a language is developed to allow users to build software in an application domain by using programming constructs that are natural for the specific domain. A DSL results in programs that are more likely to be correct, easier to write and reason about, and easier to maintain [12,15,20]. The ΦLOG DSL has been extensively described in [25].…”

Abstract. We report on the development of an agent-based system, called ΦLOG, for the specification and execution of phylogenetic inference applications. We detail the implementation of the main components of the system. In the process, we discuss how advanced techniques developed in different research areas such as domain-specific languages, planning, Web services discovery and invocation, and Web services composition can be applied in the building of the ΦLOG system.
