Abstract

The event-based style is recognized as a powerful paradigm for the construction of large-scale and complex distributed systems. The development of applications based on this concept is, however, currently ad hoc and informal. To remedy this situation, we have developed the Lecap methodology. This paper presents a case study of the application of the methodology to the analysis of a platform for mobile team collaboration. This case study shows that Lecap is indeed applicable to real-life examples. Further, we claim that a component developed for one architectural style is not necessarily deployable in the context of another style. Finally, we show where tool support is needed to enhance the methodology’s usability.
