A Model for Designing Autonomic Components Guided by Condition-Action Policies

Abstract

This article proposes a model for the design of reflex autonomic components guided by Action policies and an associated model of conflict detection between these policies. These models consist in a realization of ideas of Artificial Intelligence on Autonomic Computing. The representation and manipulation of information about the state of an autonomic computing system and the actions of the components were carried out by means of concepts of logic programming. The first tests with the models showed adequacy and that it can be adapted to the design of autonomic components capable of performing other goals.

Autonomic Forensics a New Frontier to Computer Crime Investigation Management

“…Similarly, we take for granted the computer's ability for self-management. Hence, the essence of autonomic computing systems is self-management [7,8,9]. Autonomic computing intends to free system administrators from the details of system operation and maintenance and to provide users with a machine that runs at peak performance 24 hours per day 7 days a week.…”
