Abstract
This paper presents a framework for deploying software components over a distributed system by using the notion of dynamics between components. It enables an application to be composed of one or more mobile components that can be deployed to different computers when the application is being executed. The key idea behind the framework is to provide components with deployment policies corresponding to gravitational and repulsive forces. The polices control the relocation relation between two components. As a result, a federation of distributed components can be moved and changed over a distributed system in a self-organizing manner. This paper also presents a prototype implementation of the approach and its applications.
