Dynamic Reconfiguration Package

The dynamic reconfiguration package is composed of three sub-packages. The reconfiguration decision making sub-package is responsible for receiving the event notification and determining which reconfiguration actions are required to adapt the system to the occurrence of that event. A group of reconfiguration actions is sent to the dynamic configuration engine sub-package, which applies them with the help of the dynamic dependency manager. To implement the dynamic dependency manager, we intend to use the component configurator infrastructure described in [6]. In this model, two types of dependencies are explored: By maintaining an explicit representation of the prerequisites and dynamic dependencies in the distributed system, the dynamic reconfiguration package acquires the necessary knowledge to reconfigure the system in a safe and consistent way.
