Upgrading distributed applications with the version manager

Erlang-based Software Update Platform for Mobile Devices

Growing computational power of mobile devices modifies existing approaches to data processing in large-scale sensor networks. Since sensors are no longer limited to simple data acquisition tasks, such networks can be considered complex geo-distributed data processing systems. Features and requirements of such systems justify use of Erlang language and technology for programming mobile devices. ...

Dependable On-Line Upgrading of Distributed Systems

Systems are upgraded to improve their functionality, provide new services, correct faults and accommodate changes in the system environment. The number of application areas in which systems should be able to deliver continuous reliable service is growing. Today’s systems still experience considerable downtime (in range of 30%-60%) on upgrading and patching the operating system, middleware, and ...

Distributed Jess on a Condor pool

This Distributed rule-based systems, like a distributed version of Jess, are needed for real applications. The proposed architecture for such system is based on several instances of Jess distributed in a Condor pool and a central manager allowing the cooperation between these instances. Efficiency tests are performed on classical benchmarks. Key-Words: Distributed rule-based engines, cluster si...

Automated Upgrading of Component - Based Applications

Software developers like to reuse software components such as libraries or frameworks because it lets them build a system more quickly, but then the system depends on the components that they reused. Ideally, the programming interface (API) to a component never changes. In practice, components change their APIs. Upgrading an application to the new API is error-prone, tedious, and disruptive to ...
