TL;DR: The structure and functionality of CoSMIC (Component Synthesis using Model Integrated Computing), which is an MDM toolsuite that addresses key DRE application and middleware lifecycle challenges, including partitioning the components to use distributed resources effectively, validating software configurations, assuring multiple simultaneous QoS properties in real-time, and safeguarding against rapidly changing technology.

TL;DR: A new software paradigm called Model Driven Middleware (MDM) is described that combines model-based software development techniques with QoS-enabled component middleware to address key challenges faced by developers of DRE applications particularly composition, integration, and assured QoS for end-to-end operations.

TL;DR: The results show that the design-, deployment- and Quality Assurance (QA)-time capabilities provided by CoSMIC help to eliminate key complexities associated with development of QoS-enabled component middleware applications.

TL;DR: This paper describes how model-driven development techniques can help select middleware configuration parameters that satisfy key functional and QoS requirements of DRE systems and applies these techniques to empirically evaluate the end-to-end QoS of representative DRE System quality of service domains.

TL;DR: A modeling paradigm called Options Configuration Modeling Language (OCML) is used based on model-based systems engineering to address the concerns of complex middleware configuration in the context of conflguring a QoS-enabled CORBA component middleware.
