“…These notations are suitable for (automatic) transformation into a formal language, for example, in OWL-specifications (Haydarlou et al, 2006a). The OWL-specifications, in turn, can be used to facilitate automatic instrumentation of sensors in the managed system and generation of autonomic managers.…”

Automated support for management of complex distributed object-oriented systems is a challenge: selfmanagement of such systems the goal. This paper presents a use-case based approach to self-management of such systems, focusing on autonomic monitoring and diagnosis. The existing notion of use-case has been extended to different levels of system design: explicitly specifying system behavior at different levels, and the relations between these levels, coupling structural models to these descriptions when and where appropriate. The proposed model is illustrated with a small example.

“…Figure 1 presents a high-level architecture of a self-management framework (Haydarlou et al, 2006a;Haydarlou et al, 2006b) for distributed objectoriented systems. In line with the autonomic computing architectural blueprint two modules are distinguished: a managed-system and an autonomicmanager.…”

“…At the top of the figure are descriptions of the structure of the monitored system and the usecases that describe the behaviour of that system. The Semantic Web languages OWL [5] and SWRL [12] are used to model the system structure and the use-cases [10]. The resulting OWL-specification contains both the structural and the behavioural model of the monitored system.…”

Self-monitoring of autonomic distributed systems requires knowledge of the states and events of many different parts of a system. One of the main challenges is to determine which information is most crucial for analysis of a system's behaviour, and when. This paper proposes a modelbased approach to self-monitoring for which structural and behavioural models of a system are described at different levels: application, subsystem, component and class level. In this approach, a system's behaviour is monitored in the context of a hierarchy of use-cases related to these levels. The structural and behavioural models are used to automatically instrument an existing distributed system. The proposed architecture of a self-monitoring engine is described as is the implementation. The models have been specified in the Ontology Web Language (OWL) and the self-monitoring (as a part of our self-management framework) has been implemented in Java. The scenario used to illustrate the approach is that of authentication for a simplified version of a distributed portal application.
