Abstract

Quality of service (QoS) management is a popular demand on distribution infrastructures. We present MAQS, a generic framework for QoS management based on standard CORBA middleware. The framework facilitates the specification and generation of QoS-enabled client/server applications. Architectural support for re-use and maintenance of implementations of QoS mechanisms is one of our main objectives. Our approach is based on the aspect-oriented programming paradigm. We discuss the design of the framework and how AOP facilitates the re-use and maintenance of QoS components
