  2. Coming up with a design • What are the requirements? • as this is a research topic, the precise requirements can not be specified. But we can make some basic assumptions allowing us to design and implement a prototype framework. Then refine as we go. • we will also assume a general model where communicating applications may be distributed across a network or collocated on the same host. • communication medium may be a network layer like Ethernet, a local resource such as shared memory or a higher level abstraction representing any of the traditional IPC mechanisms. • Apps communication models may be object-oriented (RMI), procedure-oriented (RPC), message-oriented or stream-oriented. • For the immediate effort we will assume a message or stream oriented communication model. So we will use a traditional interface similar to sockets (but OO) permitting both connection-oriented and connectionless protocols. • Permit synchronous and asynchronous events. • Attempt to limit constraints on protocol implementations.

  7. OO Design • Decompose into simpler, loosely coupled components. Can you identify any? • User interface: Provides a consistent interface to users regardless of the protocol instance used. • Event manager: Interface between external events and internal components • Network interface: Provides a consistent interface between protocol and interconnection network. • Protocol implementation: A particular instance of a protocol, for example TCP or HTTP. • Classifier: Abstracts a generic operation performed by most protocol. Provided by framework so protocol developers do not have to implement their own. • Message and message queues: Fundamentally important abstraction but may not correspond to an actual component. • Communication channel : Fundamentally important abstraction but may not correspond to an actual component. CS422 – Operating Systems Concepts

  8. What must you do? • Armed with this background and notes from class, do the following: • identify your first level components • for each component define the core service(s) it provides • for each component identify how it interacts with the other components, the user or the network (communication medium) • identify classes for each component that either represent the component itself or its interface to others • Turn this in next Tuesday.
