This paper deals with the problem of ensuring safe yet efficient dynamic adaptation in a distributed and volatile environment. Most current platforms pro- vide capabilities for dynamic local adaptation to adapt these systems to their evolving execution context, but are still limited in their ability to handle distributed adaptations. Thus, a remaining challenge is to safely propagate reconfiguration policies of component-based systems to ensure consistency of the architecture configuration models over a dynamic and distributed system. In this paper we implement a specific algorithm rely- ing on the models at runtime paradigm to manage platform independent models of the current system architecture and its deployed configuration, and to propagate reconfiguration policies. We evaluate a combination of gossip-based algorithms and vector clock techniques that are able to propagate these policies safely in order to preserve consistency of archi- tecture configuration models among all computation nodes of the system. This evaluation is done with a test-bed system running on a large size grid network. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.1 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00688707/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00688707/file/main.pdf %L hal-00688707 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-00688707 %~ INSTITUT-TELECOM %~ EC-PARIS %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ CNRS %~ INRIA %~ UNIV-UBS %~ INSA-RENNES %~ INRIA-RENNES %~ IRISA %~ IRISA_SET %~ INRIA_TEST %~ LORIA2 %~ TESTALAIN1 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IRISA-D1 %~ INRIA2 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-DAIS %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-MATH-STIC %~ UR1-UFR-ISTIC %~ IFIP-LNCS-7272 %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INRIA-RENGRE %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ INSTITUTS-TELECOM %~ UR1-MATH-NUM
