Design of Prototype Models for Some Problems Facing Large-Scale Configuration Management

This is the fourth report from the GridWeaver project. It describes a demonstrator that showcases a subset of the concepts explored in the previous report [ABK + 03a]. The aim of the demonstrator is to illustrate that we can model, configure, and manage a complex, adaptive system, using our prototype LCFG/SmartFrog architecture as the deployment environment. To achieve our goal, we created a prototype, OGSAcompliant printing service, which we call GPrint.
