Abstract:

This paper introduces a software architecture of dynamic configuration based on multiple agents. For software developed with CBSD (ComponentBased Software Development), using our proposed dynamic allocation middleware, it can adjust the link relations of construction elements and accomplish the upgrade in the course of operation according to the configuration requirements, thus achieving the dynamic configuration and ensuring the system's normal operation. In the frame of the dynamic configuration, each construction element, as one of the software components, is packaged into an agent of intelligence and motility that can perform element upgrade and structural adjustment autonomously.
