US-Egypt Cooperative Research: Performance Based Restructuring of Distributed Object Oriented Software

描述：该奖项旨在支持康涅狄格大学计算机科学与工程系Reda Ammar博士和埃及开罗电子研究所所长Ayman El-Dessouki博士之间的合作研究。他们计划调查分布式面向对象(DoO)应用程序的性能，并开发分析性能模型来研究在碎片/专用单节点或分布式系统上运行的面向对象(OO)软件的性能。目标方法集成了Doo环境中的软件计算、对象之间的通信活动、对象更新，并推导出分布对象的性能、体系结构特性和系统运行条件。智力优势：高级信息系统本质上通常是面向分布式对象(Doo)的。将分布式系统与面向对象范例配对产生了分布式对象。选择最有效的分布式对象设计是一个多准则决策问题。性能是软件开发人员能够选择最适合他们的需求和系统限制的面向对象(OO)设计的关键标准。然而，由于对象之间交互的复杂性，研究和评估Doo应用程序的性能是具有挑战性的。所需的技术应该捕获OO系统的性能行为，同时保留其OO属性。在该项目中开发的DOO重组技术将对许多科学和工程应用产生兴趣。特别是，这个项目与科学和工程方面的进展非常相关，重点是在性能建模和设计高效的分布式面向对象计算方面的创新。广泛影响：该项目取得的进展将在许多科学和工程界以及社会中产生影响。分析性能模型和重构算法将对许多应用的高效设计产生更广泛的影响，例如在飞机诊断和预测的高效分布式计算的开发中。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划为两国的科学家和工程师提供资助，以开展这些合作活动。

They plan to investigate the performance of Distributed Object-Oriented (DOO) applications, and to develop analytical performance models to study the performance of object-oriented (OO) software that runs on a shard/dedicated single-node or a distributed system. The target approach integrates software computation, communication activities among objects, object updating in DOO environment, and derives the performance of distributed objects, architecture properties and system operating conditions. Intellectual Merit: Advanced information systems are often Distributed Object-Oriented (DOO) in nature. Pairing distributed systems with object oriented paradigms results in distributed objects. Choosing the most efficient distributed object design is a multicriteria decision problem. Performance is a key criterion that allows software developers to be able to select the object-oriented (OO) design that best fits their requirements and system limitations. However, investigating and evaluating the performance of DOO applications is challenging due to the complexity of interactions among objects. Required technique should capture the performance behavior of OO systems while preserving its OO properties. The restructuring techniques for DOO developed in this project will be of interest to many applications of science and engineering. In particular, this project is quite pertinent to advances in science and engineering focusing on innovation in performance modeling and designing efficient distributed OO computations.Broad Impact: Advances made in this project will have an impact in many scientific and engineering communities, and in society. The analytical performance models and the restructuring algorithms will have broader impact on generating efficient design for many applications, such as in the development of efficient distributed computation for aircraft diagnosis and prognosis. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.
