Jade , a Framework for Building Autonomic Management Systems

Contact  : Noël De Palma.

Jade (see 6.6.1 ) is a framework for the construction of autonomic systems using the Fractal reflective component model. The controlled system is described in terms of an assembly of components equipped with elementary management capabilities. This description, in turn, is the base of the feedback control loops that implement various self-management functions. Legacy applications are managed by wrapping them into components. Since Jade is itself developed using the component model, the autonomic functions also apply to Jade.

Jade will be available under ObjectWeb in 2007. In the meantime, contact noel.depalma@inrialpes.fr
