Growing Complexity…
 Very large scales
– million of entities
 Ad hoc (amorphous) structures/behaviors
– p2p/hierarchical architecture
 Dynamic
– entities join, leave, move, change behavior
 Heterogeneous
– capability, connectivity, reliability, guarantees, QoS
 Unreliable
– components, communication
 Lack of common/complete knowledge
– number, type, location, availability, connectivity, protocols, semant
ics, etc.

Convergence of IT and BT
 Our system programming paradigms, methods and
management tools seem to be inadequate for handling
the scale, complexity, dynamism and heterogeneity of
emerging future network and systems
 Biological systems have evolved strategies to cope with

dynamic, complex, highly uncertain constraints
 Recently, some research area of IT is applying biological

system concept to solve its unsolved problems
DP&NM Lab.
Autonomic Computing
 Autonomic
– Pertaining to an on demand operating environment that responds
automatically to problems, security threats, and system failures
– Cf) self-adaptive, self-governing, self-managing, …
 The term “autonomic” is derived from human biology – aut
onomic nervous system
– ANS monitors heartbeat, body temperature, …
• Without any conscious effort on one’s part!
 Nature has evolved to cope with scale, complexity, hetero
geneity, dynamism and unpredictability, lack of guarantee
s
– self configuring, self optimizing, self healing, self protecting, highly
decentralized, heterogeneous architectures that work !!!
 The goal of autonomic computing is to use appropriate sol

utions based on current state/context/content based on sp
ecified policies

Architecture concepts
 Autonomic computing system
– A computing system that senses its operating environment
– Models its behavior in that environment
– And takes action to change the environment or its behavior
DP&NM Lab.
Architecture details
 Autonomic Manager
– Implementation that automates some management function and
externalizes this function according to the behavior defined by
management interfaces
Sensors Effectors
Analyze Plan
Monitor Knowledge Execute
Autonomic Manager
Data Action
Sensors Effectors
Manageability
Resource Interface
Manager
Managed Element
DP&NM Lab.
 Multiple autonomic managers
for multiple resources Hierarchical
– Autonomic managers are arranged Autonomic Systems
in hierarchical fashion
– Lower-level managers deal with
resources at smaller granularity
and/or smaller locality
 Top-level autonomic manager:
– Business decision-making
– Policy and service levels

 Autonomic manager is a component that implements the
control loop
– Monitor Function
• the function that collects, aggregates, filters and reports
details (e.g. metrics, topologies)
– Analyze Function
• the function that models complex situations to understand
current system state.
– Plan Function
• the function that structures the actions needed to achieve
goals and objectives.
– Execute Function
• the function that changes the behavior of the managed
resource using effectors.
