“…Thus, the architecture will contain one autonomic manager (as opposed to several spread across a grid), yet, the underpinning algorithms will be modular (configured as services) and capable of running on a PC as well as on a web server. -A third party autonomic development platform would most likely improve proactivity (according to the way professional frameworks, such as ACT [22] or ABLE [5], are advertised). At the same time, "one-size-fits-all" solutions tend to be heavyweight and difficult to configure, which damages the simplicity and adaptive transparency quality attributes (at the time of writing, ACT does not allow the exposure of the underlying knowledge base to the user).…”

An architecture for the autonomic curation of crowdsourced knowledge

Human knowledge curators are intrinsically better than their digital counterparts at providing relevant answers to queries. That is mainly due to the fact that an experienced biological brain will account for relevant community expertise as well as exploit the underlying connections between knowledge pieces when offering suggestions pertinent to a specific question, whereas most automated database managers will not. We address this problem by proposing an architecture for the autonomic curation of crowdsourced knowledge, that is underpinned by semantic technologies. The architecture is instantiated in the career data domain, thus yielding Aviator, a collaborative platform capable of producing complete, intuitive and relevant answers to career related queries, in a time effective manner. In addition to pro- The Good Careers Guide, London, UK viding numeric and use case based evidence to support these research claims, this extended work also contains a detailed architectural analysis of Aviator to outline its suitability for automatically curating knowledge to a high standard of quality.

“…The raw events are captured by distributed logging [12], monitoring [13], or sensing [14] mechanisms. Within individual services, autonomous toolkits (e.g., [15][16][17]) provide monitoring techniques to provide an up-to-date view on capabilities and QoS values.…”

Interaction-Driven Self-adaptation of Service Ensembles

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.

“…Bigus et al [12] describes a set of agent component libraries that can be used to build autonomic systems, which extend the ABLE platform by adding external agents to manage and control the system. In [15], Tesauro et al presents an architecture in which agents have predefined responsibilities which allow the system to exhibits certain autonomic behaviors.…”
