For most real applications of computer vision, variations in operating conditions result in poor reliability. As a result, real world applications tend to require lengthy set-up and frequent intervention by qualified specialists. In this paper we describe how autonomic computing can be used to reduce the cost of installation and enhance reliability for practical computer vision systems. We begi...

To tackle the complexity of autonomic computing systems it is crucial to provide methods supporting their systematic and principled development. Using the PSCEL language, autonomic systems can be described in terms of the constituent components and their reciprocal interactions. The computational behaviour of components is defined in a procedural style, by the programming constructs, while the ...

Abstract The Autonomic Computing paradigm reduces complexity in installing, configuring, optimizing, and maintaining heterogeneous systems. Despite first discussing it a long ago, is still top research challenge, especially the context of other technologies. It necessary to provide autonomic features Cloud-native execution environment meet rapidly changing demands without human support continuo...

In cloud environments application scheduling, i.e., the matching of applications with the resources they need to be executed, is a hot research topic. Autonomic computing provides viable solutions to implement robust architectures that are enough flexible to tackle scheduling problems. CHASE is a framework based on an autonomic engine, designed to optimize resource management in clouds, grids o...

Motivated by emerging trends and applications such as autonomic computing, this paper presents an overview of some research in the stochastic analysis and optimization of multiserver systems. Our primary focus is on multiserver systems in general, since this research provides the mathematical methods and results that have been and will continue to be used for the stochastic analysis and/or opti...

The autonomic computing notion has introduced the concept of selfoptimizing, self-healing and auto-diagnosis applications. In this article we would like to present how this idea affects the building of distributed systems. As a reference base, we take advantage of the Data Management System (DMS), which has been developed within the scope of the PROGRESS project. DMS enables the creation of a g...

Recent advances in computing systems have led to a new digital era in which every area of life is nearly interrelated with information technology. However, with the trend towards large-scale IT systems, a new challenge has emerged. The complexity of IT systems is becoming an obstacle that hampers the manageability, operability, and maintainability of modern computing infrastructures. Autonomic ...

This paper upon looking at the Autonomic Computing architecture and Grid Computing highlights the importance of health check mechanisms to achieve a reflex-healing duel strategy. This will provide new design options for the development of the Autonomic Grid. The resulting pulse monitor is based on extending the existing Grid heart-beat monitor with urgency or anxiety levels such as that used in...

Although autonomic networking has beeen discussed in related research activities in the last few years, there is neither a commonly accepted model nor a common understanding of the necessary components of an autonomic networking environment, which are also practically applicable. We present a simple model based on the notion of self that is perceived by human beings and deduce its components fr...
