Proposal Number: CCR-9970139TITLE: NSF-CNPq Collaborative Research: Automatic Configurationand Monitoring of Component-Based Distributed SystemsPI: Prof. Roy H. CampbellCO-PI: Prof. M. Dennis MickunasComponent technology has appeared as the most promising solution for theproblem of effective software development for the coming decades. Itsupportsthe construction of sophisticated systems by assembling together acollectionof off-the-shelf software components with the help of visual tools orprogrammatic interfaces. However, existing component architectures lacksupport to analyze and exploit the nature and magnitude of interactions anddependencies among components.The objective of this research is to apply the knowledge about componentrequirements and dependencies to permit the automatic configuration ofsoftware systems with little or no intervention from system administratorsorusers. It focuses on developing formal models and software tools forreifyingthe interactions between components. With these tools, the project willproduce (1) an infrastructure for automatic configuration of distributedcomponent-based systems and (2) a generic framework for collecting,consolidating, analyzing, and visualizing qualitative and quantitativeinformation about component interaction.The research will offer an important software infrastructure which has beenneglected by existing object and component architectures. It has a greatpotential impact on the reliability, flexibility, and automaticadaptability of next generation distributed systems.

提案编号：CCR-9970139 标题：NSF-CNPq 协作研究：基于组件的分布式系统的自动配置和监控 PI：Roy H. Campbell 教授 CO-PI：M. Dennis Mickunas 教授 组件技术已成为未来几十年有效软件开发问题最有前途的解决方案。它通过在可视化工具或编程接口的帮助下将一组现成的软件组件组装在一起来支持复杂系统的构建。然而，现有的组件体系结构缺乏对分析和利用组件之间交互和依赖关系的性质和程度的支持。本研究的目的是应用有关组件需求和依赖关系的知识，以允许在很少或没有系统管理员或用户干预的情况下自动配置软件系统。它专注于开发正式模型和软件工具来具体化组件之间的交互。通过这些工具，该项目将产生（1）用于自动配置基于组件的分布式系统的基础设施，以及（2）用于收集、合并、分析和可视化有关组件交互的定性和定量信息的通用框架。该研究将提供一个被现有对象和组件体系结构忽视的重要软件基础设施。 它对下一代分布式系统的可靠性、灵活性和自动适应性具有巨大的潜在影响。
