“…That's why research on distributed rule agents coordinated by a rule engine are conducted (e.g. [27,34]) to feature both dynamicity in rule injection and distributed rule-based complex adaptation scenarios. In DIOS++ [27], the rule engine receives at runtime rule requests from the user.…”

“…as a distributed component [8]), and also to easily plug self-* properties to those software entities. In general, the followed approach consists in wrapping around each component an autonomic manager (as the Element manager wrapping a computational element in Automate [34], or as the Component Application Manager defined in ASSIST [4]) that is guided by the interpretation of some rules or contracts ( [27,3,32,17]) dependent of the requested self-properties (e.g. self-healing, self-protecting, self-optimizing, self-configuring .…”

“…The Grid Component Model, as some other research works around a component-oriented framework for the programming of autonomic and distributed applications [3,32,34], features support for a clean separation of concerns between functional and non-functional ones. The peculiarity of Fractal/GCM is that both functional and non-functional parts can be designed as component systems, possibly distributed.…”

In this paper, we propose a component-oriented framework that can support autonomic computing and in particular bio-inspired approaches. Starting from the Grid Component Model, a component model targeting at Grid computing and already featuring some autonomicity, we show how such a model can be used in a general autonomic computing context. Indeed the model provides hierarchical structure and reconfiguration for both functional and non-functional levels. This should ease the development of self-* and in particular, self-evolving applications. With our approach, even the autonomic strategies themselves can evolve. We consider this model and its implementation as powerful tools for easily experimenting autonomic behaviours.

Abstract. Overlay networks are becoming widely used for delivering content, since they provide effective and reliable services that are not otherwise available. However, overlay management systems face the challenges of increased complexity and heterogeneity due to the numerous entities that are involved in realizing overlay services. We believe that autonomic management is a key solution for dealing with the complexity of overlay management. In this paper, a management architecture for service specific overlay networks is proposed. Overlays are viewed as a dynamic organization for self-management in which self-interested nodes can join or leave according to their goals. The objective of this architecture is to create autonomic overlays that are driven by different levels of policies. Policies are generated at different levels of the autonomic management hierarchy and enforced on the fly. The proposed autonomic management dynamically adapts the behavior of the overlay network to the preferences of the user, network, and service providers. A description of our novel architecture that addresses these challenges is presented.

SUMMARYIn Grid computing environments, the availability, performance, and state of resources, applications, services, and data undergo continuous changes during the life cycle of an application. Uncertainty is a fact in Grid environments, which is triggered by multiple factors, including: (1) failures, (2) dynamism, (3) incomplete global knowledge, and (4) heterogeneity. Unfortunately, the existing Grid management methods, tools, and application composition techniques are inadequate to handle these resource, application and environment behaviors. The aforementioned characteristics impose serious requirements on the Grid programming and runtime systems if they wish to deliver efficient performance to scientific and commercial applications. To overcome the above challenges, the Grid programming and runtime systems must become autonomic or self-managing in accordance with the high-level behavior specified by system administrators. Autonomic systems are inspired by biological systems that deal with similar challenges of complexity, dynamism, heterogeneity, and uncertainty. To this end, we propose a comprehensive taxonomy that characterizes and classifies different software components and highlevel methods that are required for autonomic management of applications in Grids. We also survey several representative Grid computing systems that have been developed by various leading research groups in the academia and industry. The taxonomy not only highlights the similarities and differences of state-of-the-art technologies utilized in autonomic application management from the perspective of Grid computing, but also identifies the areas that require further research initiatives. We believe that this taxonomy and its mapping to relevant systems would be highly useful for academic-and industry-based researchers, who are engaged in the design of Autonomic Grid and more recently, Cloud computing systems.
