A Domain-Specific Approach to Architecturing Error Handling in Pervasive Computing
Julien Mercadal, Quentin Enard, Charles Consel, Nicolas Loriant
Abstract
The challenging nature of error handling constantly escalates as a growing number of environments consists of networked devices and software components. In these environments, errors cover a uniquely large spectrum of situations related to each layer ranging from hardware to distributed platforms, to software components. Handling errors becomes a daunting task for programmers, whose outcome is unpredictable. Scaling up error handling requires to raise the level of abstraction beyond the code level and the try-catch construct, approaching error handling at the software architecture level.
