| Abstract |
|
As modern computing environments become more
open, distributed and pervasive, the software we build
for those dynamic environments will need to become
more adaptable and adaptive. We have previously
introduced the ROAD framework for creating flexible
and adaptive software structures. This framework is
built on a distinction between functional and
management roles. Management roles participate in
contracts that regulate the global-flow of control
through a structure of objects and roles. This paper
shows how these operational-management contracts
can be defined. Such contracts specify the permissible
interactions between objects playing functional roles
within an organisational structure. Association aspects
are shown to have the expressiveness needed to
represent such management contracts.
