| Abstract |
|
Research domains such as active networks, ad-hoc networks,
ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, grid
computing, and sensor networks, clearly show that computer
networks will become more complex and heterogeneous.
In many cases, central management and control of the
network are far from trivial since both the topology and the
connected devices change rapidly in such highly dynamic
environments, while load circumstances may vary arbitrarily.
The software architecture in a node needs to support
flexibility. We have developed an architecture tailored to
protocol stack software that allows customizing internal resource
management in order to handle overload conditions
gracefully. We show that the investment in explicit support
for modularity and architectural constraints pays off: the
paper elaborates on a case study in which dynamic adaptation
of access control behavior leads to significant performance
improvements.
