By George Edwards, Joshua Garcia, Farshad Tajalli,Daniel Popescu, Nenad Medvidovic, Gaurav Sukhatme, Brad Petrus
Presentation by Joshua Garcia and Farshad Tajalli
Today’s Software Systems
• 24/7 systems
• Long-lived, decentralized, heterogeneous, mobile,
ubiquitous

Layered Architecture
5
Approach
o Layered Architecture
o Component-based Approach
o Meta-level Components vs. Application Components
o Meta-level Component Types
• Collector, Analyzer, Admin
o Meta-level Component Layering
o Meta-level components form a control loop on the lower level architecture
o Implementation Support for Meta-level component types and layers
6
Approach Advantages
o Architectural Awareness
• Architectural awareness of components in the layer below
o Self-adaptation support for meta-level component types
o Self-adaptation support for qualities of service
o Support for Adaptive Reference Architectures
7
Meta-Level Components
Meta-Level Components Types
o Collector
o Analyzer
o Admin
8
Collector
o Read access to lower architecture
o A collection of Monitors
• added to the Components and Connectors in the lower layer
• exceptions, variables and events
o Collector aggregates the monitored data
o Flexibility of monitor installation
9
Analyzer
o Read access to lower architecture
o A collection of Policies
o Policies are evaluated against monitored data
received from Collectors
o Triggers adaptations and reconfigurations
o Directs Admins to modify the lower architecture
10
Admin
o Read\Write access to lower architecture
o Adapts the lower architecture
• Add, delete, connect, disconnect
o Reconfigures the lower architecture
components, connectors and etc.

Conclusion
o Meta-level component types and layering
• Support for qualities of service
• Ensures correct functionality and system stability
• Implementation support for meta-level component
types and layers
• Support for adaptive reference architectures
