Abstract

We investigate a means for efficient deployment of distributed services comprising of software components. Our work can be viewed as an intersection between model-based service development and novel network management architectures. In a service engineering context, models of services embellished with non-functional requirements are used as input to our swarm intelligence based deployment logic. Mappings between resources provided by the execution environment and components are the results of our heuristic optimization procedure that takes into account requirements of the services. Deployment mappings will be used as feedback towards the designer and the provider of the service. Moreover, our heuristic algorithm possesses significant potential in adaptation of services to changes in the environment.

Keywords: component deployment cross-entropy ant system QoS requirements
