PACE Projects

Several PACE projects have been developed to examine the capability of PACE across domains and trust models. Each of these projects was based on an initial implementation of PACE components, which can be obtained here.

The initial PACE implementation and each project based on PACE uses Archstudio, a software architecture-based development environment. The PACE architecture of each entity is described using xADL 2.0, an XML-based architecture description language. xADL 2.0 is defined in a set of XML schemas that can be extended.

We have used PACE to create three prototype decentralized applications - a decentralized auctioning system, a Common Operational Picture (COP) application, and a P2P file-sharing application.
