Abstract

This paper upon looking at the Autonomic Computing architecture and Grid Computing highlights the importance of health check mechanisms to achieve a reflex-healing duel strategy. This will provide new design options for the development of the Autonomic Grid. The resulting pulse monitor is based on extending the existing Grid heart-beat monitor with urgency or anxiety levels such as that used in the NASA beacon monitor. The paper concludes with a discussion that this health check mechanism may be utilized in the future to achieve the necessary sense of urgency within a system for affect and emotion intelligence.
