Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to facilitate the specification, deployment and self-management of application architectures having context-sensitive non-functional requirements. The approach is centered on high-level contracts, associated to architectural descriptions, which are used to specify execution context requirements and to control configuration adaptations in the application supporting infrastructure. A videoconference application is used to present the proposal's relevant features and to evaluate the approach through an implementation.
