Abstract. Thanks to the major evolutions in the communication technologies and in order to deal with a continuous increase in systems complexity, current applications have to cooperate to achieve a common goal. Modeling such cooperatives applications should stress regular context evolutions and increasingly users requirements. Therefore, we look for a model based solution suitable to cooperative application that can react in response to several unpredictable changes. Driven by the cooperative application structure, we propose, in this paper, an UML extension named "DM profile" ensuring a high-level description for modeling the deployment and its management in distributed application. The proposed contribution is validated through a "Follow Me" case study and implemented through an Eclipse plug-in.

“…This leads to the notion of software systems that can evolve dynamically [3][4][5]. This paper describes a domain model of dynamic system reconfiguration that provides a welldefined context for a systematic treatment of different approaches to the problem of evolving software systems [6]. Significant previous research relevant to the formulation of this model is reviewed in Sect.…”

A domain analysis of dynamic system reconfiguration is presented in this paper. The intent is to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework within which to systematically and consistently address problems and solutions related to dynamically reconfigurable systems. The analysis identifies and categorizes the various types of change that may be required, the relationship between those types, and the system integrity characteristics that need to be considered when such changes take place. A system model is employed to describe each change type using examples of global and local properties in the context of a financial analysis system. A rigorous formal methodology, based on the Alloy language and tools, is employed to specify precisely and formally the detailed relationships between various parts of the model. Based upon these descriptions, the types of change of dynamic system reconfiguration are presented as a series of UML class models.

System reconfiguration is essential in complex systems management, as it is an enabler of system flexibility and adaptability. It ensures system operation and increases reliability, availability, maintainability, testability, safety, and reuse of system entities and technologies. For the reconfiguration of a system in use, it is necessary to assess, in continuity, the system's state with regard to its context. Identifying data supporting system reconfiguration represents a major industrial challenge and is linked directly to the development of industrial reconfiguration tools. Reconfiguration tools are based on a data model, also called ontology, which represents key concepts of system reconfiguration and their relationships. A particular difficulty of developing the data model is the multi-domain nature of reconfiguration. Furthermore, it needs to address a considerable diversity of system types. Few publications propose an ontology supporting data identification and tool development for the entire process. Hence, in this paper we propose to formalize the system reconfiguration process and propose an overarching ontology, which we call OSysRec. This ontology considers data at the management, dynamics, and structure level. The proposed ontology has been developed based upon expert knowledge and several industrial uses cases. The OSysRec ontology allowed a better understanding of the reconfiguration process, and hence it can be deployed for developing efficient and effective reconfiguration tools at the industrial scale. The ontology has been tested on an industrial case study to validate the proposed approach.
