Providing Highly Automated and Generic Means for Software Deployment Process

We present a new approach for the management and enactment of deployment process by a deployment processor ORYA (Open enviRonment to deploY Applications). ORYA aims to integrate technology relevant to process support in deployment systems. The supposed context is a large scale networked organization. The deployment processor called ORYA provides deployment functionalities to distributed, autonomous, reactive processing entities representing workstations and servers. Based on these functionalities deployment processes can be enacted and monitored in an efficient manner. In this paper we focus on the distributed, multi-server, multi-client sites architecture of ORYA and the evaluation of its application to a real industrial case study dealing with a large transportation information system. 1 Motivation Software deployment is a an ordered set of activities (software process) (Fig. 1), that will be carried out over time to deploy a software. It is generally described as a life cycle with e...
