Distributed applications management platform based on Service Component Architecture
Aitor Agirre, Marga Marcos, Elísabet Estévez · 2012
The increasing complexity in current distributed embedded systems (DES) makes its design a hard task that involves several aspects like distribution middleware selection, QoS support, implementation language selection, application dynamic reconfiguration or application deployment and maintenance. These design considerations must provide a solution to non functional requirements that distributed applications nowadays demand (e.g. Hardware heterogeneity, real time requirements, energy constraints, security, safety or fault tolerance). This paper proposes a management platform for distributed component based applications that follow the SCA (Service Component Architecture) standard. This platform provides several functionalities that range from application deployment and life cycle control to QoS and fault tolerance support.
