ABSTRACT
In this paper we present a distributed hierarchical system management concept for dynamic collaboration systems. Dynamic collaboration systems are composed of platforms containing resources; the platforms join forces to achieve a common mission. The automated system management concept discussed here is called the Self-Managing Distributed Systems(SMDS) concept.The SMDS concept distinguishes four segments of management: the Planning Segment, the Instantiation Segment, the Monitoring Segment and the Federation Segment. In this paper we will introduce these four segments, explain the functionality in each segment and how the segments interact. Furthermore, we will compare this SMDS concept with a service oriented approach.

A survey of permission-based distributed mutual exclusion algorithms
The problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems has attracted considerable attention over the last two decades. The mutual exclusion problem requires that, at a time, only one of the contending processes be allowed to enter its critical section (...
Technology interworking for SMDS: from the DXI/SNI to the ATM UNI
As service providers introduce asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) into their networks, they are faced with the issue of technology interworking: for a given service, can a customer who has an ATM user-network interface (UNI) communicate with a customer ...
