Abstract

Autonomic communications seek to improve the ability of network and services to cope with unpredicted change, including changes in topology, load, task, the physical and logical characteristics of the networks that can be accessed, and so forth. Broad-ranging autonomic solutions require designers to account for a range of end-to-end issues affecting programming models, network and contextual modeling and reasoning, decentralised algorithms, trust acquisition and maintenance---issues whose solutions may draw on approaches and results from a surprisingly broad range of disciplines. We survey the current state of autonomic communications research and identify significant emerging trends and techniques.

Autonomic Re-configuration of Pervasive Supervision Services
EMERGING '09: Proceedings of the 2009 First International Conference on Emerging Network Intelligence

This paper describes a supervision system for autonomic distributed systems (e.g., a cloud computing environment). It is designed as a supplementary service and is structured as an ensemble of components that implement an autonomic control loop, which ...
Towards autonomic networks
AN'06: Proceedings of the First IFIP TC6 international conference on Autonomic Networking

Autonomic networking set a challenge for the research community to engineer systems and architectures that will increase the QoS and robustness of future network architectures. However, our experience is that so far the autonomic network research ...
Building autonomic components: the selflets approach
ASE'08: Proceedings of the 23rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering

Autonomic computing is an emergent field aiming at the development of large-scale, self-managing, distributed component-based systems. This paper presents the model and the architecture of an autonomic computing element called SelfLet, which is a ...
