An extension of a CCM environment with an adaptive planning mechanism

Abstract

The presented paper describes a promising approach of adaptive deployment in CORBA Component Model (CCM). Adaptation, as an essential concept of contemporary distributed systems, is used to improve planning of component deployment. There is described a concept and implementation of mechanisms which, using monitoring infrastructure and simple policy-based engine, allows improving execution efficiency. The presented tool, named CCMAD, is intended for use with OpenCCM platform, an open source Java implementation of CCM model. It is, however, expected that adapting CCMAD for any other CCM platform would not be troublesome. © 2007 Springer.
