Software Configuration Management Related to Management of Distributed Systems and Services and Advanced Service Creation
Vladimir Tošić, David Mennie, Bernard Pagurek · 2001
In this position paper, we briefly summarize three research projects, conducted at the Network Management and Artificial Intelligence Lab at Carleton University, related to software configuration management (SCM). These projects are dynamic service composition from service components, dynamic adaptation of service components with multiple classes of service, and dynamic evolution of network management software. We then summarize some of the challenges for future research in SCM. Our research group is particularly interested in two challenges: 1) managing dynamism and runtime change and 2) integration of SCM with other management areas and domains.
