ITC/USA 2008 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fourth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 27-30, 2008 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / The integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) and Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) projects are working to understand how TENA will perform in a Telemetry Network System. This paper discusses a demonstration prototype that is being used to investigate the use of TENA across a constrained test environment simulating iNET capabilities. Some of the key elements being evaluated are throughput, latency, memory utilization, memory footprint, and bandwidth. The results of these evaluations will be presented. Additionally, the paper briefly discusses modeling and metadata requirements for TENA and iNET.

Conscient que la réflexivité permet d'améliorer la conception et la maintenance des applications, en séparant leurs aspects fonctionnels et non-fonctionnels, nous explorons dans cette thèse le potentiel réflexif de l'intergiciel CORBA. Afin d'effectuer une analyse en profondeur, nous avons développé une plate-forme à composants fournissant de manière transparente des mécanismes classiques de réplication. Cette plate-forme nous a permis de montrer les limites de la spécification actuelle des intercepteurs CORBA, PIs (Portable Interceptors). Nous avons identifié précisément certaines difficultés de mise en oeuvre, notamment à cause de la dépendance des intercepteurs vis-à-vis du serveur auquel ils sont attachés et la faible contrôlabilité des interactions réparties. À la lumière de ce travail, nous proposons une amélioration du potentiel réflexif de la norme CORBA actuelle afin de la rendre plus adaptée à la mise en oeuvre des mécanismes de tolérance aux fautes.

Component Based Development has emerged as economical, reusable, scalable way of developing enterprise as well as embedded software applications. Testing distributed component based systems is difficult when third party components are being used in the development. Many testing methodologies that have been proposed for testing object oriented programs in the literature are being imported into component domain directly or by tuning them. But testing components involves much manual work due to the lack of information of the component. Middleware architectures like, DCOM(Distributed COM), Jini and CORBA(Common Object Request Broker Architecture) are being used in developing the distributed component applications in different vertical domains. In this thesis, a language- Distributed Object Testing Language(DOTL) for specifying the testing process and generation of distributed testing environment for CORBA based applications has been proposed. The language captures required semantics for specifying dummy servers, clients, controlling the testing process, generation of test cases, activating and deactivating objects. Many existing testing techniques can be specified using the semantics provided by the language. Faults occurring in distributed object systems, in addition to the functional errors, can be identifiable using the tool. The language provides abstract types object, argument to specify variables in the testing environment, and operations dealing with these variables to conducts necessary tests. The DOTL has been implemented on MICO(Mico Is CORBA) orb on Linux OS, with mapping of DOTL to CORBA C++.
