Q -Compiler: Metadata Qos-Aware Programming and Compilation Framework

This dissertation presents the Q-Compiler, which is a novel meta-data QoS programming and compilation framework for developing and deploying quality-aware applications. The Q-Compiler extends standard component construction with QoS-related meta-data. It proposes a set of translation models and their compilations which enable semantic interoperability among interoperable components' specific QoS requirements and provisions. It provides a set of high-level, customizable application specifications which hides the complexity of quality-aware programming. It provides a meta-data compilation which validates quality consistency of an application composition, and promotes configurability and efficiency of application deployment. The Q-Compiler's run-time support assists the compilations in preparing required QoS-related information, and uses the compilation result in running an application. In this dissertation, although the main contributions of the framework are validated via multimedia applications, we anticipate that the fundamental concepts and design will be applicable to other application domains.
