Distributed Configuring

چکیده
Shorter product cycles, lower prices, and the production of highly variant products tailored to the customer needs are the main reasons for the proceeding success of product configuration systems. However, today’s product configuration systems are designed for solving local configuration tasks only, although the economic development towards webs of highly specialized solution providers demands for distributed problem solving functionality. In this paper we motivate the integration of several configurators and give a formal definition of the distributed configuration task based on a logic theory of configuration. Further we present a basic architecture comprising several configuration agents and propose an algorithm for cooperation between distributed configuration systems that ensures correctness and completeness of configuration results.

A Self-Configuring Distributed Kernel for Satellite Networks
The Space Software Laboratory is developing a self-configuring distributed kernel to be used on future satellite missions. The completion of this system will allow a network of heterogeneous processor nodes to communicate and broadcast in a scalable, self-configuring manner. Node applications software will be transparent to the underlying network architecture, message routing, and number of net...
متن کاملEmergent Distributed Problem-solving Technique for Self-configuring Systems
The goal of configuring a massive, complex multiagent system can be viewed as a distributed search problem in which each agent attempts to choose a correct configuration. This research presents a technique that can simultaneously function as the problem decomposition and solution aggregation components in such a distributed search environment. The method is tested in a number of large multi-age...
متن کاملConfiguring Real-Time Aspects in Component Middleware
This paper makes two contributions to the study of configuring real-time aspects into quality of service (QoS)-enabled component middleware and distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. First, it compares and contrasts the process of integrating real-time aspects into DRE systems using conventional QoS-enabled distributed object computing (DOC) middleware versus QoS-enabled component mi...
متن کاملAutomating Infrastructure Composition for Internet Services
This paper describes a framework for automatically configuring relationships that tie together the software and hardware infrastructure components for an Internet-based service, which we also call ‘‘composing’’ the service infrastructure. Management and infrastructure software employ the framework to specify, discover, and react to changes in the infrastructure components participating in the s...
متن کاملLSAM Proxy Cache: A Multicast Distributed Virtual Cache
The LSAM Proxy Cache (LPC) is a multicast distributed web cache that provides automated multicast push of web pages, based on self-configuring interest groups. The LPC is designed to reduce network and server load, and to provide increased client performance for associated groups of web pages, called ‘affinity groups’. These affinity groups track the shifting popularity of web sites, such as fo...
متن کاملDevice Discovery in Short-Range Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
The performance of many envisioned applications in shortrange wireless ad hoc networking will critically rely on the promptness of the self-configuring network procedures. In that sense, a fundamental problem in ad hoc networks, is the device discovery and/or network initialization. In this paper we propose a randomized distributed algorithm for rapid device discovery during the deployment of a...
