Autonomic management via dynamic combinations of reusable strategies
Ada Diaconescu, Yoann Maurel, Philippe Lalanda · 2008
Autonomic Management capabilities become increasingly im-portant for attaining functional and quality goals in software systems. Nonetheless, successful Autonomic Management solutions must feature complex, adaptive behaviors, which remain difficult to conceive and control. This paper pro-poses a generic approach and a reusable framework for the construction of Autonomic Manager applications. The pre-sented solution advocates creating Autonomic Management behaviors via the dynamic and opportunistic integration of individual management strategies. The provided framework proposes a general architecture and a common infrastruc-ture for supporting the presented approach. A sample Au-tonomic Manager was built using the framework with sev-eral management strategies and was successfully tested in an experimental scenario.
