Jade , a Framework for Building Autonomic Management Systems

Contact  : see OW2 page.

Jade 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 is available under a Cecill-C open source licence, as part of the JASMINe OW2 open source project. See http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/jasmine .
