Distributed applications, based on internetworked services, provide users with more flexible and varied services and developers with the ability to incorporate a vast array of services into their applications. Such applications are difficult to develop and manage due to their inherent dynamics and heterogeneity. One desirable characteristic of distributed applications is self-healing, or the ability to reconfigure themselves "on the fly" to circumvent failure. In this paper, we discuss our middleware for developing self-healing distributed applications. We present the model we adopted for self-healing behaviour and show as case study the reconfiguration of an application that uses networked sorting services and an application for networked home appliances. We discuss the performance benefits of self-healing property by analysing the elapsed time for automatic reconfiguration without user intervention. Our results show that a distributed application developed with our self-healing middleware will be able to perform smoothly by quickly reconfiguring its services upon detection of failure. We also consider the performance impact of a number of fault-detection mechanisms, including pre-emptive detection and on-use detection.

The increasing diffusion of ubiquitous communication infrastructures and physical active objects -like sensors and smart tags-is motivating the integration of these devices into advanced distributed systems. The novelty of these technologies has imposed a "code and fix" approach; only a few methodologies have been developed to address the integration of heterogeneous technologies to provide the user with sophisticated and flexible abstractions of real world objects.To this end, the paper proposes the first results of a model-driven approach for the development of applications based on heterogeneous physical active objects. We propose a metamodel and a framework for automatic code generation based on Jini. The approach is exemplified on a simple case study in the domain of advanced logistics.

“…In contrast to Proem, SyD relies on proxies and provides mechanisms for reusing existing SyD applications and services. Jini [13], a more mature system compared to JXTA, uses Java's remote method invocation. Jini's limitations include the lack of scalability -Jini was originally designed for resource sharing within groups of about 10 to 100 -and that at least one machine on the network is required to run a full Java technology-enabled environment.…”

Abstract. Developing a collaborative application running on a collection of heterogeneous, possibly mobile, devices, each potentially hosting data stores, using existing middleware technologies such as JXTA, BREW, compact .NET and J2ME requires too many ad-hoc techniques as well as cumbersome and time-consuming programming. Our System on Mobile Devices (SyD) middleware, on the other hand, has a modular architecture that makes such application development very systematic and streamlined. The architecture supports transactions over mobile data stores, with a range of remote group invocation options and embedded interdependencies among such data store objects. The architecture further provides a persistent uniform object view, group transaction with Quality of Service (QoS) specifications, and XML vocabulary for interdevice communication. This paper presents the basic SyD concepts and introduces the architecture and the design of the SyD middleware and its components. We also provide guidelines for SyD application development and deployment process. We include the basic performance figures of SyD components and a few SyD applications on Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) platforms. We believe that SyD is the first comprehensive working prototype of its kind, with a small code footprint of 112 KB with 76 KB being device-resident, and has a good potential for incorporating many ideas for performance extensions, scalability, QoS, workflows and security.
