Autonomic Computing Approximated by Fixed-Point Promises

چکیده

We use the concept of promises to develop a service oriented abstraction of the primitive operations that make an autonomic computer system. Convergent behaviour does not depend on centralized control. We summarize necessary and sufficient conditions for maintaining a convergently enforced policy without sacrificing autonomy of decision, and we discuss whether the idea of versioning control or “rollback” is compatible with an autonomic framework.

Experiences in Benchmarking of Autonomic Systems

Autonomic computing promises improvements of systems quality of service in terms of availability, reliability, performance, security, etc. However, little research and experimental results have so far demonstrated this assertion, nor provided proof of the return on investment stemming from the efforts that introducing autonomic features requires. Existing works in the area of benchmarking of au...

Autonomic Pervasive Computing: A Smart Mall Scenario Using Promise Theory

We present a simplified example of a pervasive computing scenario using promises to model the interaction policies between the agents. We examine how the autonomic nodes stabilize into a robust functional system in spite of their autonomous decision making. We use promises both as a means of modelling a potential specification and as a complementary eye glass for interpreting and understanding ...

Standards for Autonomic Computing

Modern distributed computing systems are expected to be able to span a large number of heterogeneous interconnected devices while providing numerous and increasingly complex services to audiences on a global scale. Such systems are increasingly complex to deploy and operate and are stretching management techniques to a breaking point. Autonomic computing is emerging as an architectural philosop...

Comparing autonomic and proactive computing

This paper provides an overview of the relationship between proactive computing and autonomic computing, considering the design of systems that are beyond the scope of our existing computational infrastructure. Autonomic computing, as described by IBM’s manifesto on the subject, is a clear statement of the difficulties and challenges facing the computing industry today. In particular, autonomic...

Numerical solution of fuzzy differential equations under generalized differentiability by fuzzy neural network

In this paper, we interpret a fuzzy differential equation by using the strongly generalized differentiability concept. Utilizing the Generalized characterization Theorem. Then a novel hybrid method based on learning algorithm of fuzzy neural network for the solution of differential equation with fuzzy initial value is presented. Here neural network is considered as a part of large eld called ne...
