Abstract

A city is smart if it can provide ambient services for citizens and other end-users who have to tackle emergency situations, including small and wide scale accidents and incidents. These ambient services embody intelligence of autonomic systems based on heterogeneous execution platforms enhanced with services that provide mechanisms for self-adaptation of dependable applications. This paper aims to serve as a reference point and guide for researchers and developers interested in technologies of autonomic dependable service platforms from three viewpoints: i) architectural options, ii) ontology models for services, context and dependability, and iii) modeling methods and practices for achieving high quality service platforms and intelligent applications. Our findings are illustrated through a smart city experiment and a set of open research challenges that need to be carried out for achieving a generic solution for an autonomic dependable service platform.
