With significant advances in software development technologies in recent years, it is possible to have complex software applications, wich include large number of heterogeneous software components distributed over a large network of computers with different computational capabilities. To run such applications, their components must be instantiated on proper hardware resources in their target environments so that all requirements and constraints are met and some quality of service parametesrs (e.g.,reliability, load balancing, etc) are also optimized. This process is called software deployment. For large, distributed ,component-based applications¬ with many constraints and requirements, it ...
