Abstract
Component-based technologies make it possible to decompose complex software systems into functional software components. Unfortunately, most component technology does little to address non-functional Quality of Service (QoS) requirements that concern the run-time execution of the software. We are developing a technique to enable one to satisfy QoS requirements of software systems by decomposing and assembling Qoskets similar to the way systems are decomposed into functional components. A qosket is a packaged unit of reusable QoS-related behavior and policy. These qoskets are integrated into a component-based application to enable dynamic, adaptive QoS management. We present our design and describe our initial prototype. We conclude with a set of open questions and directions for future work.
