CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF DISTRIBUTED COMPONENTS-BASED SOFTWARE

Abstract

Software deployment encompasses all post-development activities that make an application operational. It covers different activities such as packaging, installation, configuration, application start and updates. These deployment activities on large infrastructures are more and more complex leading to different works generally developed in an ad'hoc way and consequently specific to middleware such as for instance J2EE, .net or CCM. Every middleware designs specific deployment mechanisms and tools. The objective of this work is to propose a generic deployment approach independently of the target environments and to propose necessary abstractions to describe the software to be deployed, the deployment infrastructures and the deployment process with the identification and the organization of the activities to be carried out and the support for its execution. Our approach is model driven and our contribution is about a generic deployment framework.
