Abstract

SmartFrog is a framework for creating configuration-driven systems. It has been designed with the express purpose of making the design, deployment and management of distributed component-based systems simpler and more robust. Over the last decade it has been the focus for ongoing research into aspects of configuration management and large-scale distributed systems, providing a platform for experimentation. The paper covers the rationale for the design of the framework, details of its design, plus a description of the further research that is in progress.
