Autonomic Computing
Abstract
This report examines selected aspects of autonomic computing, explores some of its strengths and weaknesses, and outlines some of the current research projects being undertaken in this area. It also makes connections between this area and current work in several initiatives at the Carnegie-Mellon (trademark) Software Engineering Institute (SEI), namely the Predictable Assembly from Certifiable Components and Software Architecture Technology (SAT) Initiatives. Several pieces of work being undertaken in these initiatives have connections to autonomic computing. Furthermore, the report describes the potential and impact of autonomic computing for Department of Defense (DoD) systems, and outlines some of the challenges for the DoD as it moves to exploit autonomic computing technology. The following autonomic computing projects are profiled: Unity Project and Autonomic Computing Toolkit; Information Economies Project; KX Project (Columbia University); Rainbow Project (Carnegie-Mellon University); ROC Project (University of California Berkeley/Stanford); DEAS Project (Universities of Victoria and Toronto, Canada); Autonomia Project (University of Arizona); AutoMate Project (Rutgers University); AMUSE Project (University of Glasgow and Imperial College, UK); Astrolabe Project (Cornell University). At the end of the report is an extensive bibliography, which shows how quickly the autonomic computing field has grown since 2001. The bibliography contains a number of documents that would be good starting points for newcomers to the field of autonomic computing.
