This work presents an infrastructure for remote and decentralized deployment of distributed, multi-language and multi-platform component-based applications. Unlike other component deployment systems, this infrastructure supports the local installation of static dependencies, which are managed by a packaging system, similar to those used in Linux-based operating systems. In order to simplify the management of the execution environment and the component’s life-cycle, this infrastructure provides an API that allows the deployment planning and the physical mapping by incremental level of details. The incremental level of details promote the modularisation of deployment plans and allow the automatic, semi-automatic or fully manual mapping of components in the execution environment and the physical resources. This provides a better control over the distribution of resources to the developer, if needed. The design of this infrastructure aims to provide a basis for future work, as the development of new strategies for automatic deployment and the integration with architecture description languages.
