....reconfiguration mechanism should focus on node interactions rather than application specifications. This form of local consistency has been first considered in the CONIC programming environment to support the integrity of transactions [9] The reconfiguration schema and its variants (e.g. 3] and [13]) have been based on the quiescent state of nodes, in which a node can no longer interact with its environment. They propose an order for rendering nodes in a quiescent state, in such a way that no partially completed transactions are blocked by the reconfiguration actions. The variants of the ....

....reconfiguration actions. The variants of the initial algorithm focus either on efficiency aspects by minimizing the set of blocked nodes (e.g. 3] or by associating locks with object methods, which must be acquired prior to call a method on a server, in order to facilitate node passivation (e.g. [13]) The algorithms that provide application consistency, introduce low execution disruption but are application dependent and generally need substantial guidance. On the other hand, the algorithms that guarantee node consistency,are application independent but introduce a non negligible execution ....

....modification. And that is what we have described here. To the best of our knowledge, we are not aware of any working distributed system that supports this form of functionality. Current research on configurable distributed systems is focused on configuration management of software systems (e.g. [9,10,11,12]) The configuration of a software system is expressed as a set of components communicating through connectors. Special architecture description languages (ADLs) are used for describing system structure. The composition of a system is expressed in terms of components, where a component provides ....
