Decentralized Control and Adaptation in Distributed Applications via Web and Semantic Web Technologies - Felix Leif Keppmann Kartoniert (TB)

The presented work provides an approach and an implementation for enabling decentralized control in distributed applications composed of heterogeneous components by benefiting from the interoperability provided by the Web stack and relying on semantic technologies for enabling data integration. In particular the concept of Smart Components enables adaptability at runtime through an adaptation layer and is complemented by a reference architecture as well as a prototypical implementation.
