Abstract/Description

Mismatches between pre-qualified existing components and the particular reuse context in applications have been a major factor hindering component reusability and successful composition. Although component adaptation has acted as a key solution of eliminating these mismatches, deep adaptation is often either impossible or incurring heavy overheads in the components. This paper proposes an approach, namely Scenario-based dynamic component Adaptation and Generation (SAGA), to achieve deep adaptation with little code overhead through XML-based component specification, interrelated adaptation scenarios and corresponding component adaptation and generation.
