Abstract
Adding autonomicity to computing systems seems to be a promising way to deal with the problem of increasing system complexity. One step along the way to self-managing computing systems – especially with regard to distributed, modularized, service based environments – is to solve the problem of how to autonomically decide in a most useful and resource efficient way which alternative to choose in order to deploy a service. Deploying a service means, to either copy or move it from a source to a destination device or to use it remotely. In this paper we motivate the domain of autonomic service deployment and present an approach for deployment decision making (DDM). We explain all steps of the deployment decision making process and assemble them into an algorithm accordingly. Furthermore, we define all necessary components of DDM and enumerate a set of research questions which we address in order to fully explore the concerned domain. An experiment illustrates the potential of the presented approach.
