Adaptive middleware for dynamic component-level deployment
Mick Jordan, Christopher Stewart · 2005
Utility hosting centers can reduce resource consumption by optimally distributing and load balancing their client's application components. However, current state-of-the-art middleware systems either rely on the application to deploy itself, and/or provide the hosting center with course-grained and static deployment mechanisms. In this paper, we present our adaptive middleware system and API that allows the hosting-center to dynamically exchange component-level deployment generators for all hosted applications. To demonstrate our system's capabilities, we provide experimental results on the speed and effectiveness of dynamic deployment strategies.
