5. 5 Background Prism Visio-based software modeling and deployment environment

6. 6 Background DRADEL Textual architectural modeling Static analysis

7. 7 Background Mobility and Disconnected Operation Theoretical model (mostly) worked out Tool support pending

8. 8 Class projects (1) DRADEL Extend it to support peer interactions Extending the spec with dependency tag associated with each provided service of a component Extending the spec with degraded mode tag associated with each provided service of a component Utilize this information at the level of implementation µDRADEL How much can be deployed on devices? Under what circumstances? Border connectors Extending them to monitor message frequencies and report the frequencies on demand Must be highly efficient Measure the penalty Supporting reconnection

9. 9 Class projects (2) Prism Extend it with automated discovery of network nodes and software components on those nodes Add peer support Adding source parameter to the component description Ping attached devices and visually depict disconnection Disconnected operation Suggest ways to construct a dependency graph of components so that benefit can be calculated precisely Detect the disconnection Calculate the probability of sudden disconnection

10. 10 Class projects (3) Extensions to TDS application Make it really cool Implement a novel PitM application Integration with SoftwareDock Extend PitM communication model Provide real-time guarantees IR/wireless connectors Secure connectors CM support for PitM application development Resource analysis of PitM architectures
