• DMDA - A Dynamic architecture for scientific applications. Scientific applications utilizing data from networks of sensors must be both highly flexible and of high performance. The objective of this project is to address the design of an architecture for such an environment. A service oriented architecture makes sense for modeling such applications, but not for implementing them, due to performance issues and architectural mismatches.
  The DMDA architecture models applications as services in a service oriented architecture. This architecture is, in repeated steps, mapped to a heterogeneous architecture that contains high-performance, data-driven components and SOA-style components. Each data-driven component is a parallel application. The mapping uses an MDA approach. To cope with several requirements on flexibility, the models will continuously change in run-time. Hence, the mapping system is super-imposed on a service architecture that provides dynamism.
  We are currently investigating adaptive computing for parallel perfromance-aware components using DMDA. We investigate training and dynamic dispatch strategies that will provide fine-grained adaptiveness for such applications.
