MESIS provides tools
with the typical features of traditional management environments.
They include the monitoring of the state of the distributed
system, the possibility to control and coordinate replicated
resources, the dynamic installation and configuration of
new network resources, and the optimized access to replicated
information by taking into account both current traffic level
and query locality.
MESIS has demonstrated to be suitable to implement tools for monitoring and controlling network resources, but the MESIS main goal is to manage complex network services, even obtained by tailoring and composing existing ones, and to dynamically introduce new services in the existing infrastructure without suspending operations.
In the area of mobile computing, for example, we have tested MESIS
usability for the design, the implementation and the management of
