A new approach for increasing efficiency and flexibility of distributed applications

A new approach for developing efficient and flexible component-based distributed applications is proposed. It is based on a new programming platform TL (Transformation Language) which allows to express both abstract sequential code and parallel processing model of an application. To minimize execution cost and maximize flexibility, Distributed Partial Executor (DPE) tool and optimization algorithm is introduced. The example of the distributed image processing application is considered and its optimization in TL is analyzed. The obtained results confirm usability of the proposed methodology.
