“…We would like to conclude by relating to existing approaches. For implementations of attribute-based interaction, we refer to the Java-based [2] and the Erlang-based [10] implementations. As we mentioned before, these implementations are centralised while we are aiming for a distributed one.…”

“…This is the approach used in the Java-based implementation [2] of AbC . A similar approach, still based on a centralised broker, is used in the Erlang-based implementation [10]. There however to avoid broadcasts the broker has an attribute registry where components register their attribute values and the broker is now responsible for message filtering.…”

Collective-adaptive systems offer an interesting notion of interaction where run-time contextual data are the driving force for interaction. The attribute-based interaction has been proposed as a foundational theoretical framework to model CAS interactions. The framework permits a group of partners to interact by considering their run-time properties and their environment. In this paper, we lay the basis for an efficient, correct, and distributed implementation of the attribute-based interaction framework. First, we present three coordination infrastructures for message exchange, then we prove their correctness, and finally we model them in terms of stochastic processes to evaluate their performance.

“…Notably, this novel communication paradigm can also be used to model a wide range of adaptation patterns in autonomic systems [9]. In our previous work [11] we provided a preliminary assessment of AErlang, where we used a simple program for a stable marriage variant without ties, to give a hint of what could be done with AErlang. No performance evaluation was considered.…”

Attribute-based communication provides a novel mechanism to dynamically select groups of communicating entities by relying on predicates over their exposed attributes. In this paper, we embed the basic primitives for attribute-based communication into the functional concurrent language Erlang to obtain what we call AErlang, for attribute Erlang. To evaluate our prototype in terms of performance overhead and scalability we consider solutions of the Stable Marriage Problem based on predicates over attributes and on the classical preference lists, and use them to compare the runtime performance of AErlang with those of Erlang and X10. The outcome of the comparison shows that the overhead introduced by the new communication primitives is acceptable, and our prototype can compete performance-wise with an ad-hoc parallel solution in X10.
