Abstract

The Aeolus component problem of automatic deployment of complex distributed component systems. In the general setting, the task of checking if a distributed application can be deployed is an undecidable problem. However, the current undecidability proof in Aeolus assumes the possibility to perform in a synchronized way atomic configuration actions on a set of interdependent components: this feature is usually not supported by deployment frameworks. In this paper we prove that even without synchronized configuration actions the Aeolus component model is still Turing complete. On the contrary, we show that other Aeolus features like capacity constraints and conflicts are necessary: if we remove the former the deployment problem becomes non-primitive recursive, while in the latter it becomes poly-time.
