Enabling Self-Management Of Component Based Distributed Applications

• Deploying and managing distributed applications in dynamic Grid environments requires a high degree of autonomous management. Programming autonomous management in turn requires programming environment support and higher level abstractions to become feasible. We present a framework for programming self-managing component-based distributed applications. The framework enables the separation of application’s functional and non-functional (self-*) parts. The framework extends the Fractal component model by the component group abstraction and one-to-any and one-to-all bindings between components and groups. The framework supports a network-transparent view of system architecture simplifying designing application self-* code. The framework provides a concise and expressive API for self-* code. The implementation of the framework relies on scalability and robustness of the Niche structured p2p overlay network. We have also developed a distributed file storage service to illustrate and evaluate our framework.
