Abstract :
Adapting a component to construct a new application is complicated. This paper first presents a component adaptation method-assemble, which solves the problems of interface matching, message handling, state monitoring, environment simulation and adopts a multi-agent adapter to build a flexible mechanism. Then a component reuse architecture, MAC, based on this method, is discussed. Examples of this modeling and related work are given
