Abstract
We propose an integrated environment for supporting the development of overlay services. Given a service description written in a centralized and network-independent way using a high-level Petri net, our tool automatically derives its distributed version taking into consideration the targeted overlay network specification and network/computing resources. Furthermore, our tool interprets the distributed version and allows the overlay nodes to execute the service as specified in the description. During that time, the tool monitors the utilization of overlay links and occupation of processors so that related information can be provided to the developers. Consequently, the developers only give the service description and our toolset supports the subsequent design and development tasks. An experimental study on using the toolset and a realistic application example are provided to show the effectiveness of our methodology.
