A Unified Deployment and Management Model for Dynamic and Distributed Software Architectures

Abstract

This chapter provides a generic model called Unified deployment and management Model of Dynamic and Distributed software architectures (UMoDD) based on the D&C standard proposed by the OMG. UMoDD has been designed to be suitable to dynamic deployment and management for both architecture styles: the service-oriented and component-based architecture style. The proposed model is based on a model-driven approach. It offers two levels of modelling: a generic level and a specific level to an architecture style.
