Replicação orientada a metaprogramação

Abstract

The objective of this research is to show how distributed, cohesive and coupled applications can be developed. The proposal is to use metaprogramming technics in compilation to automate part of the applications source code development, and to inspect the source code to find inconsistencies. For this purpose Treplica and Cyan were used. Treplica provides a structure to the distributed applications development, while Cyan provides the support to metaprogramming. These resources allowed the components creation, which can be used to develop replicated applications. In this research it was possible to apply metaprogramming to automate developmento steps of these applications, making the source code of replication better isolated from the rest of the application. The verification of this source code to find inconsistencies can also be made. This research does not intend to solve all automation possibilities of the replicated source code development, and it does not intend to solve all necessary verifications to the replication either. The objective of this research is to show that, using metaprogramming, it is possible to automate the development and the inspection of the applications source code in general.
