A multi-layered resource management framework for dynamic resource management in enterprise DRE systems

Abstract

Enterprise distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems can benefit from dynamic management of computing and networking resources to optimize and reconfigure system resources at runtime in response to changing mission needs and/or other situations, such as failures or system overload. This paper provides two contributions to the study of dynamic resource management (DRM) for enterprise DRE systems. First, we describe a standards-based multi-layered resource management (ARMS MLRM) architecture that provides DRM capabilities to enterprise DRE systems. Second, we show the results of experiments evaluating our ARMS MLRM architecture in the context of a representative enterprise DRE system for shipboard computing.
