SCI: NMI DEVELOPMENT: Middleware for Adaptive Robust Collaborations across Heterogeneous Environments and Systems (MARCHES)

该方案开发了开源的适配中间件，称为“Aware Ware”，它使分布式应用程序能够感知并适应不同的环境和系统。将有三个主要组成部分：感知数据获取、感知数据管理和动态重新配置。该框架和最终能力的目标环境是用于远程教育的应用程序共享，以及用于地震响应监测的嵌入式传感器网络。原型软件将与相关软件集成到NMI软件分发中，并在特定目标环境中进行部署和评估。将开发用户文档和其他初始支持功能，以帮助采用和使用。

This proposal develops open-source adaptation middleware, called "AwareWare", that enables distributed applications to be aware of and then adapt to heterogeneous environments and systems. There will be three major components: awareness data acquisition, awareness data management, and dynamic reconfiguration. Target environments for the framework and eventual capabilities are application sharing for distance education, and embedded sensor networks for earthquake response monitoring. The prototype software will be integrated with relevant software into NMI software distributions and deployed and evaluated in specific target settings. User documentation and other initial support functions will be developed to aid in adoption and use.
