In a universe where terminals are increasingly interconnected, the CAMA
team is interested in the problems raised by distributed systems. How can we
adapt these systems to the resources available in order to best meet users’
needs How to solve (or at least manage) problems of coherence of the
information in the system How to guarantee (or at least manage) temporal
constraints More generally, how to build a system with extra-functional
properties which require compromises
Within this framework we consider techniques for the expression of properties
(functional and extra-functional) as well as their implementation, deployment
and evolution. To do so we use techniques which guarantee a high level of
confidence in the system obtained by relying on a structured construction
process and skilful use of running mechanisms.
Our aim, therefore, is formally to study the definition, deployment and
composition of services in order to offer a system which renders the running
of an application autonomous by automatically carrying out the adaptations
necessary while respecting different constraints. The software concepts and
solutions proposed are illustrated by applications in the domains of mobile
phone games, grids and secure and autonomous systems administration.
