 Where are Connectors in Software
Systems?

Software Connector Roles

• Locus of interaction among set of components

• Protocol specification (sometimes implicit) that defines
its properties
o Types of interfaces it is able to mediate
o Assurances about interaction properties
o Rules about interaction ordering
o Interaction commitments (e.g., performance)
• Roles
o Communication
o Coordination
o Conversion
o Facilitation
Connectors as Communicators
• Main role associated with connectors
• Supports
o Different communication mechanisms
 e.g. procedure call, RPC, shared data access,
message passing
o Constraints on communication
structure/direction
 e.g. pipes
o Constraints on quality of service
 e.g. persistence
• Separates communication from computation
• May influence non-functional system characteristics
o e.g. performance, scalability, security
Connector Types

• Procedure call
• Data access
• Event
• Stream
• Linkage
• Distributor
• Arbitrator
• Adaptor

How Does One Select a Connector?
• Determine a system’s interconnection and interaction needs
o Software interconnection models can help
• Determine roles to be fulfilled by the system’s connectors
o Communication, coordination, conversion, facilitation
• For each connector
o Determine its appropriate type(s)
o Determine its dimensions of interest
o Select appropriate values for each dimension
• For multi-type, i.e., composite connectors
o Determine the atomic connector compatibilities
