1. Global architecture

From a global point of view, LUKAS is compound of two interacting parts :

• a monitor part that is responsible of retrieving the information and send it to the decision part ;
• the work organization part that is responsible of improving the run, using the information provided by the monitor part, with the desire to improve the user's satisfaction.

 [TODO : schema]

 The LUKAS framework will simplify monitoring, information exchange and system update. More over, it will provide implementation of more common usefull parts.

To aid the understanding, here is a graph that shows interactions of observables, actions and qualities.

[TODO : graph]

Observables : CPU load, Network load, agents needs

Actions : move agents, merge/split agents, replication

Qualities : duration, precision

[/TODO : graph]

Qualities are not independent : a change may increase a quality and in the same time decrease another one. The use is responsible of decide what is the most satisfying quality.
