This project focuses on enhancing communication applications by self-configuring multiple frameworks within the Communication Virtual Machine (CVM). The goal is to expand medium coverage, incorporate additional communication frameworks, and enable NCB to adapt and utilize these layers seamlessly. The design involves creating bridges to integrate various frameworks like Google Talk and Skype into NCB without extensive rewriting. The Communication Service Manager serves as a centralized hub for managing multiple frameworks and autonomic computing principles are applied to optimize framework selection and usage. The project aims to publish research findings at esteemed conferences like SAC and address future work on refining Google Talk and JML functionality and addressing user availability issues.

Self-configuring of multiple frameworks for NCB Sean Leslie Ricardo Tirado Graduate Students: Andrew Allen
Problem/Motivation • Communication Virtual Machine • A new paradigm for developing new communication applications • Problem • Adding additional medium coverage to the CVM. • Motivation • Design NCB to be able to incorporate additional communication frameworks, and self-configure NCB to use these layers.
Original Goals • Design a framework that self-configures NCB • Implement this design for NCB • Publish papers describing our research findings
Outline • Recap • Literature Review • Design • Demonstration • Summary/Contribution • Future Work
Recap • Identify the problem • Read, read, read • “User-Centric Network Communication Broker for Multimedia Collaborative Computing • “A Communication Virtual Machine” • Propose a solution • Incorporate multiple communication frameworks via a bridge. • Self-configure NCB to work with these frameworks
Recap (cont.) • Research • Survey paper • Refine knowledge of the API (Google Talk, JML) • Design • Create an architecture that allows use of bridges within NCB but without rewriting all of NCB • Implementation • Write the code for NCB • Write the code for the bridges
Design • Communication Framework • Google Talk, Skype, NCB, JML • Java API
Design • Bridge • Interface implemented for each communication framework • Each bridge is particular to its communication framework
Design • Communication Service Manager (CSM) • Contains the list of all the separate Bridge objects • Maintains the multiple communication frameworks • Concept of multiple frameworks is centralized here
Design • NCB • Limited knowledge of the multiple frameworks • Maintains the communication session
Design • UCM, SE, UCI • Unchanged
Applying Autonomic computing to CSM • Knowledge • The communication bridge objects • Stored in a list
Applying Autonomic computing to CSM • Monitor • Wait for an incoming request • Poll to get incoming communication information
Applying Autonomic computing to CSM • Analyze • Analyze the request to determine what is being asked for • Generate a list of possible communication frameworks
Applying Autonomic computing to CSM • Plan • Apply any kinds of preferences to the list of possible frameworks • Make a comparison
Applying Autonomic computing to CSM • Execute • Hand off the bridge object to NCB
Original Goals • Create a design that self-configures NCB • Completed • Implement this design for NCB • Mostly completed • Publish papers describing our research findings • 3rd Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC): Autonomic Computing Track • 46th ACM Southeast Conference Deadline for submission: Late November
Future Work • Further implement Google Talk, and JML functionality • Handling various user availability issues • Constraints – User availability
