Vers un environnement multi personnalites pour la configuration et le   deploiement d'applications a base de composants logiciels
  The multiplication of architecture description languages, component models and platforms implies a serious dilemma for component based software architects. On the one hand, they have to choose a language to describe concrete configurations which will be automatically deployed on execution platforms. On the other hand, they wish to capitalize their software architectures independently of any description languages or platforms. To solve this problem, we propose a multi personalities environment for the configuration and the deployment of component based applications. This environment is composed of a core capturing a canonical model of configuration and deployment, and a set of personalities tailored to languages and platforms. This paper details the architecture of such an environment and describes the personalities for the CORBA and Fractal component models.
