description Highly distributed environments (HDEs) are deployment environments that include powerful and robust machines in addition to resource-constrained and mobile devices such as laptops, personal digital assistants (or PDAs), smart-phones, GPS devices, sensors, etc. Developing software for HDEs is fundamentally different from the software development for central systems and stable distributed systems. This argument is discussed deeply and in-details throughout this dissertation. HDE applications are challenged by two problems: unreliable networks, and heterogeneity of hardware and software. Both challenges need careful handling, where the system must continue functioning and delivering the expected QoS. This dissertation is a direct response to the mentioned challenges of HDEs. The contribution of this dissertation is the cloud component model and its related formal language and tools. This is the general title.
