Pollux: Enhancing the Quality of Service of the Global Information Grid (GIG)

Abstract : The Pollux project focused on developing, analyzing, empirically evaluating, and optimizing technologies that can support the GIG's real-time QoS needs. This effort also focused on solutions that leveraged and enhanced commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and standards-based technologies. The final report describes the results of the Pollux project during the period of April 2006 to February 2009. Pollux focused on the following primary technical focus areas during this period of performance: DDS Benchmarking Environment (DBE), DDS QoS Modeling Language (DQML), Resource Allocation and Control Engine (RACE), Model-driven engineering tools for QoS configuration, Ricochet++ adaptive middleware/transport framework, CUTS System Execution Modeling Tool.
