ABSTRACT
As computing systems evolve and mature, they are also expected to grow in size and complexity. With the continuing paradigm shift towards cloud computing, these systems have already reached the stage where the human effort required to maintain them at an operational level is unsupportable. Therefore, the development of appropriate mechanisms for run-time monitoring and adaptation is essential to prevent cloud platforms from quickly dissolving into a non-reliable environment. In this paper we present our approach to enable cloud application platforms with self-managing capabilities. The approach is based on a novel view of cloud platforms as networks of distributed data sources - sensors. Accordingly, we propose utilising techniques from the Sensor Web research community to address the challenge of monitoring and analysing continuously flowing data within cloud platforms in a timely manner.
