Reference Guides¶

SpeADL is a language to describe component-oriented architectures and implement them in Java.

We propose various reference guides that can be read in that order:

1. SpeADL⁻ : traditional component-oriented abstractions such as components, interfaces, composites, specialisation, provided and required ports, bindings, etc.
2. Java for SpeADL⁻ : implementation of SpeADL⁻ in Java, instantiation of components, initialisation lifecycles, etc.
3. SpeADL: specific abstractions introduced by SpeADL to help the development of MAS with ecosystems and species, but also to describe dynamic architectures.
4. Java for SpeADL: implementation of SpeADL in Java, instantiation of species, species initialisation lifecycle, etc.
