Development of tools that simplify the programming of composed networked systems.

In a nutshell

Background

Programming composed networked systems requires specifying network interfaces, protocols, and cross-system concurrency. Compared to the programming of the individual systems, this is an additional effort. The aim of the FEPCOS-Project is to simplify the programming of composed networked systems by reducing this additional effort.

Activities

The FEPCOS-Model was created as a basis for domain-specific programming languages or extensions of programming languages for composed networked systems. It allows a precise and systematic description of such systems by extending the composite design pattern to include network communication.

Based on the FEPCOS-Model, the Java programming tool FEPCOS-J is developed. FEPCOS-J prototypically implements a domain-specific Java language extension which enables the declarative specification of composed networked systems by using Java annotations. FEPCOS-J frees a Java developer from network programming and supports cross-system concurrency.
