Abstract

Software deployment encompasses all post-development activities that make an application operational. The development of system-based components has made it possible to better highlight this piece of the global software lifecycle, as illustrated by numerous industrial and academic studies. However these are generally developed ad hoc and, consequently platform-dependent. Deployment systems supported by middleware environments (CCM, .Net and EJB), specifically develop mechanisms and tools related to pre-specified deployment strategies. For this topic of distributed component-based software applications, our goal is to define what could be a unified meta modeling architecture for deployment of distributed components based software systems. To illustrate the feasibility of the approach, we introduce a tool called UDeploy (Unified Deployment architecture) which firstly, manages the planning process from meta-information related to the application, the infrastructure and the deployment strategies; secondly, the generation of specific deployment descriptors related to the application and the environment (i.e. the machines connected to a network where a software system is deployed); and finally, the execution of a plan produced by means of deployment strategies used to elaborate a deployment plan.
