Abstract
It is difficult to assemble independently developed software components because of discrepancies between their interfaces. In order to resolve such problem, we propose a new component model, Active Binding Technology, in which each component has its own independently-defined interface for service request that is revealed in its metadata, instead of passively following the interface of a service-providing component. This model Includes the use of the glue component, an interface mediating place, whose template code is automatically generated by reading in the metadata of the components to be combined. We also propose a runtime framework that holds the pool of component instances, completes the assembly of components in the manner of dependency injection, and performs middleware services and real-time system monitoring through glue components. In order to test the practical value of Active Binding Technology, we have made a tool, which supports the development and assembly of Active Binding components.
