| Abstract: | Configuration fragments developed separately and focusing on different aspects, such as availability, security or performance of a system need to be integrated into a consistent system configuration to avoid system malfunctions. The main challenges of such integration are due to the overlapping entities and the integration relations between the entities of the different configuration fragments. In this paper we propose a model based approach for a consistent integration of configuration fragments into a system configuration. We use and extend the model weaving technique to capture the semantics of the relations between the entities of the configuration fragments. Moreover, we generate automatically the constraints corresponding to these semantic relations to complete the target system configuration profile. These constraints can be used to guard the configuration consistency during runtime modifications. |
