Adding Meta-Architectural Understanding to Resource Aware Software Architectures Requiring Device Synchronization

We present a component-based software architecture that dynamically discovers and consumes remote services from distributed devices connected across a network. The architecture maintains its own local functionality, while also actively participating in its environment by discovering and responding to other devices as well. One novel capability of this software is its ability to synchronize its local and remote services with all other devices in its environment via its meta-architecture infrastructure. Furthermore, our architecture is fault tolerant and has the capability of re-synchronizing with lost connections and remembering old peers. The software architecture is built on top of the PRISM [1] middleware and inherits much of its design style from the C-2 [2] Architectural style.
