Abstract

We present the Quality-of-Service Query Service (QQS), a CORBA service which provides Quality-of-Service- related 'decisions' for the configuration and parameterization of CORBA applications. Applications and services query QQS for those QoS-related decisions, and input data into QQS, so that evaluators have the necessary information to execute their decision-making algorithms. QQS consists of a database, a registration, naming and dynamic-loading facility for evaluators, and a registration and dynamic-loading facility for data collectors. The data model underlying the database is a QoS-oriented data model specially designed for QQS, such that a maximum amount of relevant queries and evaluators fit into QQS. This paper describes the motivation, design, implementation and use of the QoS query service.
