Technical Motivation
Software components, CBD and CBSE benefits for the
building of “mobile and wireless software”*
Event-based and state-based programming (e.g., MVC
paradigm, JavaBeans programming model) for mobile
and wireless software components**
Additional expected facilities: administration
Remote dynamical (re)-configuration
Self-contained deployment-based fault management
UML 2-compliant approach, theoretical background:
UML Profile to Model Mobile Systems
Mobile UML Statecharts
Etc.
*i.e., software embedded in mobile and wireless devices
**i.e., software components deployed and running in mobile and wireless devices

Mobile and Wireless Systems are
highly Reactive Systems
Poor support in the Java world for state-based
programming even if event-based programming
is naturally supported: e.g., onMessage
callback in Java Message Service (JMS)
Difficulties for formalizing and for implementing
the integration of recognized technologies: e.g.,
Java Management eXtensions (JMX)
concerning administration

Open Source Philisophy
Existing PauWare.Statecharts Java library
Complete UML 2 State Machine Diagrams engine (state-based
programming) versus proprietary products such as Rhapsody (I-Logix)
Fault management (Built-In Test or BIT technology, Component+
European Project, IST-1999-20162, www.component-plus.org): e.g.,
“onError” rollback capabilities for state machines…
(Re)-configuration support based on component states: e.g., “reset”…
Extension for mobile and wireless systems:
PauWare.Velcro Java library
Non mature open source product: WMA? See demo. later
In search of case studies…
Relevant approach for experts in the mobile and wireless area?

Business Opportunities (Informal Ideas!)
Online maintenance: return for reparation for the more recent
products (sep-top boxes, cell phones…) is close to 20% while it is
close to 5% for mature (i.e., enough tested) products (paper on the
Novo company, Nouvel Observateur French magazine, 2004)
User practice spying: marketing studies, ergonomics improvement,
others…
Development of business QoS policies such as ?
