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 ...

Today we collect data from different size of data, different locations and different type with a large scale in each site. Current computer server systems cannot process and collect these big data. For this issue, distributed computing system proposed in the literature. Supercomputers are changed to distribute computing, such as cloud computing systems. Software engineering is a part of each so...

A distributed system is composed of a number of elements, the most important of which are software components, processing nodes and networks. Some of these elements can be specified as part of a distributed system’s design, while others are given (i.e., they have to be accepted as they are). Typically when building a distributed system, the software is under the designer’s control. Depending on...

There is growing recognition of the importance of the role of architecture in determining the quality of a software system. While a good architecture cannot guarantee attainment of quality goals, a poor architecture can prevent their achievement. It is particularly important to evaluate the performance of a distributed system architecture. Errors made early can cause excessive overhead for comm...

We describe an architecture recovery experiment performed on a distributed software system. Our main aim was to identify those situations in which existing reverse engineering techniques could be satisfactorily applied and those situations where such techniques would produce only limited or inaccurate results. Based on this experience, we propose ways in which these techniques can be improved.

Autonomic computing is a grand challenge in computing that aims to produce software that has the properties of self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization and selfprotection. Adding such autonomic properties into existing applications is immensely useful for redeploying them in an environment other than they were developed for. Such transformed applications can be redeployed in differen...
