CompAA : A Self-Adaptable Component Model for Open Systems

This paper describes the CompAA component model designed for adaptability management in open systems. Extension of the Ugatze component model validated for the static integration of components, CompAA aims to manage adaptable entities to resolve some problems due to the dynamics of open environments. The main contribution introduces the variability concept with the specification of adaptation points integrated by a mixed component/agent approach. An experimentation in the area of training on the grid validates our contribution.
