An architecture for gradual transition towards self-managed software systems
Edin Arnautović, Hermann Kaindl, Jürgen Falb · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2006
While management of today's software systems is usually performed by humans using some user interface (UI), autonomic systems would be self-managed.Our research addresses the research problem of gradual transition towards self-managed software systems and proposes and investigates a particular architecture for its solution. In particular, we propose unified communication between a system to be managed and its (human or autonomic) manager. Such communication is specified using our high-level discourse metamodel based on insights from theories of human communication. This should make such communication easier to design and understand by humans.
