Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE SYSTEM WITH FUNCTIONALITY ADAPTATION FOR MOBILE COMPUTING Submitted by Belaramani Nalini Moti for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2002 All things are affected by change. This is especially true for mobile computing environments. Everything, from devices used, resources available, network bandwidths to user contexts, can change drastically at run-time. It therefore becomes imperative for software systems and applications to be able to adapt to these changes in order to provide a suitable and relatively stable working environment for users. Various techniques of adaptation have been researched, for instance changing the quality of data accessed, or changing routing information dynamically. These each addresses a certain aspect of change affecting the computing environment. However, dynamically changing how an application carries out its functionality - functionality adaptation - has not been sufficiently explored in the context of mobile computing. Techniques do exist, however, with limited flexibility and adaptive capability. My work is motivated by the desire to devise a flexible and intuitive functionality adaptation technique, which can adapt to many different types of change affecting a mobile computing environment. The basis of this dissertation is dynamic component composition. Software and applications are made up of components which are assembled at run-time as they are required. There may be several components carrying out the same task. Which component is used for that particular task depends on the run-time execution environment. Under different run-time conditions, different components are used. Each of these components may have different run-time characteristics and adapt the execution of the task at hand, thereby achieving functionality adaptation. A new component model, the facet model, has been designed in order to realize the above technique. The fundamental philosophy of the facet model is the separation of functionality from data and user interface (UI). Applications can be broken up into facets along the lines of functionalities. Every facet provides a certain functionality. There may be more than one facet achieving the same functionality. At run-time, the appropriate facet is brought in and executed. This enables applications to be linked by functionalities, rather than by exact components. Functionality adaptation, in this approach, is achieved by choosing the appropriate component from several components with the same functionality. The adaptation mechanism is, in fact, transparent to the programmer. This thesis classifies into categories the different types of adaptabilities that mobile systems exhibit, and the different types of techniques employed to achieve them. It defines functionality adaptation and argues that dynamic component composition is a flexible mechanism to achieve it. Finally, it looks into the details of the facet component model - a component model especially designed for dynamic component composition in the context of mobile computing - and illustrates its feasibility and applicability through the implementation of the Sparkle software system.
