Open Implementation Toolkit for Creating Adaptable Distributed Applications

摘要

The Open Implementation Toolkit for Creating Adaptable Distributed Applications project developed enabling technologies for building intrusion- aware, adaptable applications, i.e., applications that can recognize intrusions, attacks, and malfunctions, and adapt to avoid them or reduce their impact, thereby increasing their chances for survival. The project developed and packaged these technologies into the QuO Open Implementation Toolkit, containing specification languages and code generators, a runtime kernel, and libraries of reusable components that support measurement, control and adaptation at many levels of system operation. The project also demonstrated these technologies by developing adaptive, survivable example applications using a variety of intrusion detection, security, and property managers. These applications developed using the QuO toolkit, demonstrate the concepts underlying advances in infrastructure to detect potential intrusions and adapt to recover from, avoid, or protect against them.
