A New Approach for Self-mangement and Deployement of Applications on Hetregenous Mobile Devices

This paper provides an extension of MDA called Context-aware Quality Model Driven Architecture (CQ-MDA) which can be used for quality control in pervasive computing environments. The proposed CQ-MDA approach based on ContextualArchRQMM (Contextual ARCHitecture Quality Requirement MetaModel), being an extension to the MDA, allows for considering quality and resources-awareness while conducting the design process. The contributions of this paper are a metamodel for architecture quality control of context-aware applications and a model driven approach to separate architecture concerns from context and quality concerns and to configure reconfigurable software architectures of distributed systems. We think that such a representation of architecture concepts aides on improving quality assessment and management not only in the design level, but also in the run-time level. The model assigns a hierarchical library for the four software architecture levels (family level, subfamily level, service level and application level).To demonstrate the utility of our approach, we use a videoconference system.
