Abstract:

Software components are deployed into an execution environment before
runtime. The execution environment influences the runtime execution of
a component. Therefore, it is important to study existing execution
environments for components and learn how they influence components'
runtime execution. In this paper, we undertake such a study. We show
that deploying components into different execution environments may
incur runtime conflicts, which, however, can be detected before runtime.
