Model Driven Middleware for DRE Systems
Metadata descriptors, deployment launch scripts

• CoSMIC Tailored towards the new OMG Deployment
  Configuration specification

• Analysis model checking (KSU)

• Aspect modeling

• Model weaving via C-SAW (UAB sub)

• Synthesize benchmarking suite, descriptor
  metadata, launch scripts

• CIAO QoS-enabled component middleware for DRE
  systems (WashU Collaboration)

• www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cosmic

CoSMIC Tools Packaging (1/7)

• Composable Adaptive Software Systems (COMPASS)
  tool to resolve the problem of packaging
  component functionality
• Modeling paradigm that allows DRE application
  integrators to model the component assembly and
  packaging aspect
• Model interpreter enables the synthesis of
  metadata describing component packages
• Run-time tool support to parse the descriptors
  and create assemblies
• POC Krishnakumar Balasubramanian
  (kitty_at_dre.vanderbilt.edu)

4
CoSMIC Tools ORB Configuration (2/7)

• Options Configuration Modeling Language (OCML)
• Addressed ORB-level configuration aspects
• OCML provides constraints on valid combinations
  of ORB parameters.
• Synthesizes descriptors encoding the rules
• Application developers model a set of ORB
  configuration parameters
• Application developers validate their ORB
  configurations against these rules

POC Emre Turkaye (turkaye_at_dre.vanderbilt.edu)
5
CoSMIC Tools Event Channel Integration (3/7)
Event channel integration in CIAO

• RT Event channel integration with CIAO containers
• Patterns-based unified API to integrate event
  service, notification service and real-time event
  service
• Model-driven synthesis of descriptor metadata for
  event channel configuration and integration
• Permits event delivery for events between
  colocated components
• Integration with KSU Cadena
• POC George Edwards (edwardsgt_at_dre.vanderbilt.edu)

6
CoSMIC Tools Federated Event Channels (4/7)

• Federated Event Service Modeling Language (FESML)
• Used to model a federation of event channels
• Modeling entities include the producers,
  consumers, channels, networks, and gateways
• Synthesizes the metadata to configure a federated
  event channel

POC Gan Deng (dengg_at_dre,vanderbilt.edu)
7
CoSMIC Tools Deployment Planning (5/7)

• Model Integrated Deployment and Configuration
  Environment for Composable Software Systems
  (MIDCESS)
• Resolves deployment planning challenges
• Allows modeling artifacts of deployment
  environment, such as nodes, networks, bridges
• Synthesizes deployment plan metadata
• POC Jaiganesh Balasubramanian (jai_at_dre.vanderbilt
  .edu)

8
CoSMIC Tools Benchmarking (6/7)

• CCMPerf is a model integrated test and
  benchmarking suite
• Models application use-case scenarios to
  synthesize desired performance aspects of DRE
  applications
• POC Arvind Krishna (arvindk_at_dre.vanderbilt.edu)
