Definition, Deployment and Use of Gauges to Manage Reconfigurable Component-Based System

摘要

The University of Colorado DASADA project provides an application architecture and associated automated infrastructure (FIRM) that can support the dynamic reconfiguration of a software system. Its intended use is to insert sensor probes and actuators into a target system and to support the reconfiguration of the target to improve its operation based on data reported by the probes. The FIRM infrastructure includes: a general communication substrate based on content-based routing (Siena); a standardized interface for manipulating components (LIRA); a content- directed control system (Q/A); a hypertext system for data accumulation and correlation (InfiniTe); a runtime configuration management system (TWICS); and finally, a planning system to support complex reconfigurations (Plan it).
