Media type: E-Article Title: Toward a search architecture for software components Contributor: Silvestri, Fabrizio; Puppin, Diego; Laforenza, Domenico; Orlando, Salvatore imprint: Wiley, 2006 Published in: Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Language: English DOI: 10.1002/cpe.995 ISSN: 1532-0626; 1532-0634 Keywords: Computational Theory and Mathematics ; Computer Networks and Communications ; Computer Science Applications ; Theoretical Computer Science ; Software Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Grid and its related technologies enable large‐scale sharing of resources of various types. We envision that in the near future applications will be completely built in a bottom‐up fashion using software components deployed on various locations and interconnected to form a workflow graph. In this paper, we make some proposals on the design of a component search service, enabling users to locate the components they need to deploy an application.
