An approach to dynamic reconfiguration of distributed systems based on object-middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is an increasing demand for long running and highly available systems. This holds particularly for distributed systems based on object-middleware, which are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. Dynamic reconfiguration consists of modifying the configuration of a system during runtime, contributing to the availability of the system. This paper introduces a novel approach to dynamic reconfiguration of distributed systems based on object-middleware. The paper also discusses some issues related to the implementation of our approach and proposes a design for a Dynamic Reconfiguration Service using CORBA standard mechanisms.

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملDynamic Reconfiguration of Object-Middleware-based Distributed Systems
Distributed systems with high availability requirements have to support some form of dynamic reconfiguration. This means that they must provide the ability to be maintained or upgraded without being taken off-line. This thesis addresses the dynamic reconfiguration of distributed applications that run on top of an object-middleware infrastructure. In this context, a system configuration is defin...
متن کاملDynamic Reconfiguration for Middleware-Based Applications
Distributed systems with high availability requirements have to allow reconfiguration of the system without being taken off-line. Examples of reconfigurations are the replacement of a component with a newer version, or the migration of a component to another node. A key issue for reconfiguration is maintaining the correctness of the system, which can be very complex due to the number of compone...

In this paper, a combination of simulated annealing (SA) and intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm is used to solve the nonlinear/complex problem of simultaneous reconfiguration with optimal allocation (size and location) of wind turbine (WT) as a distributed generation (DG) and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) as a distributed flexible AC transmission systems (DFACT) unit in a distribution sys...
متن کاملPreserving Dynamic Reconfiguration Consistency in Aspect Oriented Middleware
Aspect-oriented middleware is a promising technology for the realisation of dynamic reconfiguration in heterogeneous distributed systems. However, like other dynamic reconfiguration approaches, AO-middleware-based reconfiguration requires that the consistency of the system is maintained across reconfigurations. AO-middleware-based reconfiguration is an ongoing research topic and several consist...
