Abstract

Software deployment comprises activities for installing or updating an already implemented software system. These activities include (1) deployment of a system onto a new host, (2) component upgrade in an existing system, (3) static analysis of the proposed system configuration, and (4) dynamic analysis of the configuration after the deployment. In this paper, we describe an approach that supports all four of these activities. The approach is specifically intended to support software deployment onto networks of distributed, mobile, highly resource constrained devices. Our approach is based on the principles of software architectures. In particular, we leverage our lightweight architectural implementation infrastructure to natively support deployment in resource constrained environments.
