Abstract of Restructuring Paradigm models for the ToolBus architecture:
  a case study
A.W. Stam, L.P.J. Groenewegen and E.P. de Vink

In this paper we report on an implementation case study regarding the
coordination description language Paradigm. We show how to restructure
existing Paradigm models to facilitate their efficient implementation on a
software coordination architecture like the ToolBus. The restructuring is in
part achieved by transforming hierarchical manager-employee relations into
symmetric mutual control and by exploiting structural component similarities.
On top of this, we introduce the coordinator-weaver-performer pattern, which
combines local separation of coordination and computation with a globally
endogenous coordination strategy. The approach is illustrated for a generic
servicing example.
