DySCAS System Specification - Part II : Specification of DySCAS MiddlewareReference Architecture

The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive definition of theDySCAS Middleware Reference Architecture, including the DySCASArchitecture Model together with the underlying DySCAS Component Model andDySCAS Information Model. The component model provides a standardizedapproach to the interfaces, internal structure and behaviours of middlewareservices. The information model constitutes an ontology and effective means forcapturing and formulating the meta-information of system configuration. Suchinformation is typically concerned with the system architecture specification andoperation status that is necessary for run-time configuration management.This document serves as a guide for understanding the functionalities andsemantics of this reference architecture in detail.
