ScalAgent, une plate-forme à composants pour applications asynchrones

The use of the Internet as a general purpose communication sy stem is growing very fast in all sectors of activity and multiple forms of equipme nts are now connected to Internet and have gained increased embedded intelligence. This evol ution leads to emerging interac- tive services that are cooperating with existing enterpris e information systems. Developing and deploying these new services is a challenging issue from bot h the software engineering point of view (development tools) and the run-time point of view (m iddleware services). It is recog- nized today that message oriented middleware (MOM) are well -suited to support these services. However MOM-based environments are suffering from a lack of tools for building and operat- ing distributed applications. This paper describes the Sca lAgent infrastructure which aims at filling this gap. This infrastructure is based on a MOM and a co herent set of development tools following a component-based approach.
