Title
Distributed configuration management using composite objects and constraints.
Abstract
Distributed programming has transformed applications into federations of cooperating components. Complex interactions between such components create complex interdependencies which are outstripping the capacity of systems managers to monitor and control them. Furthermore, adding configuration management features to an application's components reduces flexibility and portability. The Raven Configuration Management System (RCMS) addresses these problems by handling configuration management orthogonally to the task of programming components. RCMS groups related components together, and provides rules which govern their interactions. RCMS combines object-oriented structuring with declarative programming to improve reliability and performance in the presence of an evolving environment. An initial version of RCMS has been completed, including a compiler and run-time support routines.
