  3. Motivation Overview: • Problem • Distributed applications comprise autonomous programs typically hosted on heterogeneous platforms and distributed over heterogeneous networks. • Traditional middleware such as CORBA masks the distribution of resources across a network and hide differences among computing platforms and networks. • Adaptive middleware provides acceptable quality-of-service, security, fault-tolerance, and so on over different underlying technologies. • However, adding new adaptive functionality to an extant application is complicated when: • The source code of the application is unavailable. • The source code is available but modifying it directly is undesirable. • The application is required to run continuously and cannot be easily taken off-line for upgrade. Motivation Background ACT ACT + QuO Example PerCom Conclusion

  8. Adaptive CORBA Template Adaptive CORBA Java Framework Adaptive CORBA C++ Framework Extended QuO Framework Adaptive CORBA Template (ACT) Overview: • ACT features • supports “unanticipated” adaptation in CORBA applications. • enables dynamic improvements to CORBA applications in response to changes in their functional requirements or in non-functional concerns, such as quality-of-service, fault-tolerance, and security. • provides a generic model for constructing and enhancing adaptive CORBA frameworks.
