Abstract :
In this position paper we unify three essential features for flexible system software: a component oriented approach, self-adaptation and separation of concerns. We propose DiPS (Distrinet Protocol Stack), a component framework, which offers components, an anonymous interaction model and connectors to handle non-functional aspects such as concurrency.
