Role-based systems are autonomic

Abstract

Autonomic Computing is a newly emerging computing paradigm in order to create computer systems capable of self-management and overcome the rapidly growing complexity of computing systems management.To possess self-* properties, there must be mechanisms to support self-awareness, i.e., an autonomic system should be able to perceive the abnormality of its components. After abnormality is checked, a process of self-healing or self-configuration must be completed to guarantee the system works correctly and continuously.In role-based collaboration (RBC), roles are the major media for interaction, coordination, and collaboration. A role can be used to check if a player behaves well or not. This paper investigates the possibility of using roles and a role engine to diagnose the behavior of agents, and facilitate self-* properties of a system. The paper asserts that role-based systems are autonomic.

Adaptive Collaboration Based on the E-CARGO Model

“…The findings in this paper are based on the research results of RBC (Zhu, 2006(Zhu, , 2007(Zhu, , 2008a(Zhu, , 2008bZhu & Alkins, 2009a, 2009bZhu, Zhou, & Alkins, in press;Zhu & Zhou, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c, 2008a, 2008b, 2012Zhu, Alkins, & Grenier, 2009) and adaptive systems (Hou et al, 2007a(Hou et al, , 2007b. It is clear that team role assignment problems and the implemented algorithms make AC possible.…”
