Abstract As network-centric operations become ubiquitous, the need to enforce resource usage policies through control and allocation of collections of computing and network resources must be addressed. Therefore, researchers and technology developers have produced resource management middleware (RMM). A typical resource management system characterizes the resources to be managed. Given the characterizations, RMM finds and enacts an initial (feasible) allocation of resources to software systems. Once the application systems are operational, RMM monitors resource status and utilization, and software system resource needs. When the monitoring data indicate that the performance of the system needs to be improved, a reallocation is planned and enacted. This presentation will focus on the characterization of the resources and software systems. An approach for specification of these properties will be presented, with the intention of providing a starting point for a standardization effort. The presenters will show a specification approach that has emerged from the DARPA Adaptive, Reflective Middleware Systems (ARMS) program, which is producing multilayer resource management middleware (MLRM).
