Today's computing environments are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They involve numerous complex software that cooperate in potentially large scale distributed environments. These software are developed with very heterogeneous programming models and their configuration facilities are generally proprietary. Therefore, the administration of these software (installation, configuration, tuning...

Grid computing platforms require to handle dynamic behaviour of computing resources within complex parallel applications. We introduce a formalization of adaptive behaviour that separates the abstract model of the application from the implementation design. We exemplify the abstract adaptation schema on two applications, and we show how two quite different approaches to adaptivity, the ASSIST e...

Object-oriented Design frameworks are increasingly recognized as better components than objects. In this paper, we briefly explain the framework concept, show a COM implementation, and discuss the accompanying configuration management issues.
