Title
Flecc: A Flexible Cache Coherence Protocol for Dynamic Component-Based Systems
Abstract
An increasing number of distributed applications are currently being constructed as sets of connected compo- nents and dynamically deployed in wide area networks using frameworks such as CORBA, .NET, and Web Ser- vices. Such dynamicdeploymentsenable applicationsto flexibly adaptto changesin client QoS requirements and network properties, but introduce a consistency problem because of replicated components. Ideally, the frame- works deploying the applications should ensure that the application consistency requirements are satisfied, even though the requirements can range from weak to strong and dynamically change at run-time. Thus, a key chal- lenge is to design a flexible cache coherence protocol that uses application-specific information while still be- ing application-neutral. This paper describes Flecc, an application-neutral cache coherence protocol used by a component-based framework (Partitionable Services Framework) to sat- isfy the consistency requirements of deployed applica- tions. Flecc allows applications to specify appropri- ate consistency and granularity levels and define com- plex synchronization decisions as simple functions. We demonstrate the benefits of our cache coherence proto- col by analyzing the behavior of a component-basedap- plication modeling an airline reservation system.
