“…This framework builds on recent advances in autonomic computing [9,13,17,34], and extends the author's previous work in this area [4,5,6,7] in several new directions. Thus, we describe for the first time how multiple instances of the same general-purpose autonomic architecture can be organised into self-managing systems of systems by means of a new type of autonomic policy termed a resource-definition policy.…”

“…The research efforts of the past few years have generated a wealth of knowledge on what autonomic systems should look like [9,13,21,31,34] and what best practices to follow in building them [4,16,41,43]. This progress is to a great extent a by-product of the effort that went into the development of successful autonomic solutions addressing specific management tasks in real-world applications [8,25,27,40,42].…”

The success of mainstream computing is largely due to the widespread availability of general-purpose architectures and of generic approaches that can be used to solve real-world problems cost-effectively and across a broad range of application domains. In this chapter, we propose that a similar generic framework is used to make the development of autonomic solutions cost effective, and to establish autonomic computing as a major approach to managing the complexity of today's large-scale systems and systems of systems. To demonstrate the feasibility of general-purpose autonomic computing, we introduce a generic autonomic computing framework comprising a policy-based autonomic architecture and a novel fourstep method for the effective development of self-managing systems. A prototype implementation of the reconfigurable policy engine at the core of our architecture is then used to develop autonomic solutions for case studies from several application domains. Looking into the future, we describe a methodology for the engineering of self-managing systems that extends and generalises our autonomic computing framework further.

This article reviews the existing work in selfhealing and self-repairing technologies, including work in software engineering, materials, mechanics, electronics, MEMS, self-reconfigurable robotics, and others. It suggests a terminology and taxonomy for self-healing and selfrepair, and discusses the various related types of other self-* properties. The mechanisms and methods leading to selfhealing are reviewed, and common elements across disciplines are identified.

Abstract. The emergence of large-scale online collaboration requires current information systems to be apprehended as service ensembles comprising human and software service entities. The software services in such systems cannot adapt to user needs based on autonomous principles alone. Instead system requirements need to reflect global interaction characteristics that arise from the overall collaborative effort. Interaction monitoring and analysis, therefore, must become a central aspect of system self-adaptation. We propose to dynamically evaluate and update system requirements based on interaction characteristics. Subsequent reconfiguration and replacement of services enables the ensemble to mature in parallel with the evolution of its user community. We evaluate our approach in a case study focusing on adaptive storage services.
