Abstract

As the idea of virtualisation of compute power, storage and bandwidth becomes more and more important, grid computing evolves and is applied to a rising number of applications. The environment for decentralized adaptive services (EDAS) provides a grid-like infrastructure for user-accessed, long-term services (e.g. webserver, source-code repository etc.). It aims at supporting the autonomous execution and evolution of services in terms of scalability and resource-aware distribution. EDAS offers flexible service models based on distributed mobile objects ranging from a traditional client-server scenario to a fully peer-to-peer based approach. Automatic, dynamic resource management allows optimized use of available resources while minimizing the administrative complexity.
