Abstract:
Distributed systems' runtime behavior can be difficult to
understand. Concurrent, distributed activity make notions
of global state difficult to grasp. We focus on the runtime
structure of a system, its execution architecture, and propose
representing its evolution as a partially ordered set of predefined
architectural event types. This representation allows a system's
topology to be visualized, analyzed and con-strained. The
use of a predefined event types allows the execution architectures
of different systems to be readily compared.
