issues and future trends of Internetware.

Abstract As a new software paradigm evolved by the Internet, Internetware brings many challenges for the traditional software development methods and techniques. Though architecture-based component composition (ABC) approach is originated in the traditional software paradigm, it supports

Abstract Internetware applications are emerging and being widely used. They can adapt their behavior based on environmental contexts and deliver smart services. These contexts can be subject to various noises, which cause them to be inaccurate, incomplete, or even to conflict with each other

Abstract Architecture-based runtime management (ARM) is a promising approach for Internetware systems. The key enablement of ARM is runtime architecture infrastructure (RAI) that maintains the causal connection between runtime systems and architectural models. An RAI is uneasy to implement and

. Chinese researchers have proposed Internetware,1-5 a software paradigm that provides a set of technologies for develop-ing applications to meet computing requirements in the Internet environment. The “China’s National Research and Development Framework ” sidebar offers more information on the current

Cloud computing has become a powerful enabler for many IT services and new technolo-gies. It provides access to an unprecedented amount of resources in a fine-grained and on-demand manner. To deliver such a service, cloud providers should be able to efficiently and reliably manage their available

Abstract Emerging with open environments, the software paradigms, such as open resource coalition and Internetware, present several novel characteristics including user-centric, non-central control, and continual evolution. The goal of obtaining high confidence on such systems is more difficult

research leaders in software engi-neering for Internet computing dis-cuss important issues that will shape this field’s future. The essays cover opportunities and challenges for the shifting software paradigm (Jian Lü); stepping outside the comfort zone to revisit issues such as soft
