Autonomic Management of complex IT infrastructures requires multiple different types of analysis to be performed on large data sets in order to promptly detect anomalies and attacks and take appropriate actions. The requirements in terms of computing power can be so high that new solutions must be devised in order to reduce reaction times. This paper describes how Grid technologies can be lever...

We present a container-based architecture for supporting autonomic data stream processing application on Fog computing infrastructures. Our architecture runs applications as Docker containers, and it exploits Docker’s native features to dynamically scale up/down the resources of a Fog node assigned to the applications running on it. Preliminary results demonstrate that Docker containers are app...

In this chapter, we present some of the biologically-inspired approaches, developed within the context of the European project BIONETS for enabling autonomic pervasive computing environments. The set of problems addressed include networking as well as service management issues. The approach pursued is based on the use of evolutionary techniques — properly embedded in the system components — as ...

Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and describe a promising approach that employs preference elicitation. 1 Resource Allocation in an Autonomic

On Demand Computing is a popular vision of the future in which businesses will respond nimbly to new opportunities and threats. Unfortunately, the ever-growing complexity of IT is a key inhibitor of this vision, as it raises the cost and risk of altering systems, rendering them ever more ponderous. Since the purpose of autonomic computing is to reverse the trend of increasing IT complexity, it ...

eCommerce is an area where an Autonomic Computing system could be very effectively deployed. The growth of eCommerce has created demand for services with financial incentives for service providers. Revenues accrue if the admitted requests are processed within the specified deadline and costs are incurred if the admitted requests are not processed within the deadline. The number of requests to b...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the potential to radically transform commonly held perceptions of computing applications and usage. From environmental monitoring to assisting the aged in their everyday activities, the WSN concept offers an attractive vision of how computational technologies may positively influence everyday life. Hence there is almost unprecedented interest all technologic...

Cloud computing is becoming an interesting alternative as a flexible and affordable on-demand environment for deploying custom applications in the form of services. In this work, a self-organizing system model based on dynamic relation network is proposed. In the model, autonomic element can self-adapted to the weight of the relationship under the guidance of the self-organizing policy. Based o...

Key issues to address in autonomic job recovery for cluster computing are recognizing job failure; understanding the failure sufficiently to know if and how to restart the job; and rapidly integrating this information into the cluster architecture so that the failure is better mitigated in the future. The Agent Based High Availability (ABHA) system provides an API and a collection of services f...
