Abstract:

In order to reduce the costs related to application unavailability during maintenance operations, dynamic reconfiguration provides applications with the ability to evolve at runtime. We consider a distributed system model in which large-scale applications are built on a middleware infrastructure providing support to distribution, communication and a causal ordering property[4]. Furthermore this model is based on an architecture description language (ADL)[1][3][9] supporting complex application design. This paper presents a dynamic reconfiguration service which takes great advantage of the knowledge of application structure provided by the ADL and the causal ordering property to reconfigure application safely. 1
