A graphical deployment and management tool for distributed applications

Abstract

OOPP is a component based middleware platform with support for complex distributed applications. The main goal of OOPP is to create an expressive programming model for distributed applications where by default details are hidden for the programmer. When necessary, reflection is used to expose and sometimes modify these details. All interaction with an OOPP component are specified by its component model and a at set of well-defined interfaces. The component model specifies how a component interacts with the runtime. The set of interfaces specifies how a component interacts with other components. An OOPP application is created by combining a set of OOPP components. OOPP Studio can be used to create and manage such an application. This paper gives an overview of the OOPP programming model and discusses in more details OOPP Studio. OOPP Studio is a powerful graphical tool used to build, deploy, and manage a distributed OOPP application.
