An Adaptation Methodology for the Deployment of Mobile Component-based Applications

Abstract

Abstract-The expansion of wireless communication and mobile hand-held devices is affecting how software deployment is being performed. Deployed applications have to be suited to the users requirements, to the resources of his terminal and to the surrounding environment. In this paper, we define a methodology which enables classical deployment tools provided by componentbased middlewares to be adaptive. This methodology was experimentally tested and evaluated.

A Case-Based Component Selection Framework for Mobile Context-Aware Applications

“…Besides, it does not show what kind of context should be taken into account and how to model the context. D. Ayed, et al [10] proposed a two-level rule-based adaptation approach for the deployment of mobile component-based applications. Apart from the target deployment environment, it suggests that the user's preferences, activities and physical environment should also be considered.…”

CADeComp: Context-aware deployment of component-based applications

“…The CADeComp deployment adaptation algorithm was detailed in (Ayed et al, 2006). In the following section, we describe briefly the stages carried out by the DeploymentAdapter.…”

“…A detached connection is deployed without components to connect to it. In Ayed et al (2006) we defined a formal structure of the CADeComp data model and we analyzed the different types of inconsistencies that can be introduced when the adaptation rules are described. In (Ayed, 2005) we developed a checking tool that detects inconsistencies and proposes possible corrections to the application assembler.…”

Design of a decentralized algorithm for deploying services within networked nodes

“…It is also responsible of choosing services suited to a particular node. Planit [3], Software Dock [4], ORYA [5], and CADeComp [6] are the main representative platforms of the centralized management approach.…”
