Cloud Computing is an emerging paradigm in Information Technologies (IT). One of its major assets is the provisioning of resources based on pay-as-you-go model. Cloud resources are situated in a highly dynamic environment. However, each provisioned resource comes with functional properties and may not offer non functional properties like monitoring, reconfiguration, security, accountability, etc. In such dynamic environment, non functional properties have a critical importance to maintain the service level of resources and to make them respect the contracts between providers and consumers. In our work, we are interested in monitoring, reconfiguration and autonomic management of Cloud resources. Particularly, we put the focus on Service-based applications. Afterwards, we push further our work to treat Cloud resources. Consequently, this thesis contains two major contributions. On the first hand, we extend Service Component Architecture (SCA) in order to add monitoring and reconfiguration requirements description to components. In this context, we propose a list of transformations that dynamically adds monitoring and reconfiguration facilities to components even if they were designed without them. That alleviates the task of the developer and lets him focus just on the business of his components. To be in line with scalability of Cloud environments, we use a micro-container based approach for the deployment of components. On the second hand, we extend Open Cloud Computing Interface standards to dynamically add monitoring and reconfiguration facilities to Cloud resources while remaining agnostic to their level. This extension entails the definition of new Resources, Links and Mixins to dynamically add monitoring and reconfiguration facilities to resources. We extend the two contributions to couple monitoring and reconfiguration in order to add self management capabilities to SCA-based applications and Cloud resource. The solutions that we propose are generic, granular and are based on the de facto standards (i.e., SCA and OCCI). In this thesis manuscript, we give implementation details as well as experiments that we realized to evaluate our proposals
