Ugatze Interopérabilité entre composants dirigée par les modèles

Exposed work relates to the engineering of heterogeneous distributed systems based on the re-use of components. Those are high level software components considered as autonomous in term of run-time. Our research field deals with several research domains: distributed systems, reuse, interoperability, components, model driven engineering. In this article, our proposal is a component metamodel, called Ugatze, allowing to reuse legacy components We present the conceptual level allowing to build component based system architectures, and the annotation level and its extra functional properties. A reuse process exploits those levels, building a conceptual model and exploiting annotation properties in order to perform an automatic integration. This process is supported by a model driven CASE tool. This article describes the metamodel, the process and the tool defined by the way of meta modelling standards.
