Towards a model driven autonomic management system

by Laurent Broto, Daniel Hagimont, Estella Annoni, Benoit Combemale, Jean-paul Bahsoun, Université Paul Sabatier, Route De Narbonne - Information Technology: New Generations, Third International Conference on, 0:63–69 , 2008
"... Abstract—Distributed software environments are increasingly complex and difficult to manage, as they integrate various legacy software with specific management interfaces. Moreover, the fact that management tasks are performed by humans leads to many configuration errors and low reactivity. This is ..."

architecture. However, we observed that the interfaces of a component model are too low-level and difficult to use. Consequently, we explore the use of a model driven approach where several UML profiles are used to specify the different facets of an autonomic management policy.

An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure

by Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth - DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES , 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."

commercial workflow technology and extend the scope and mission of workflow management systems to support increased workflow automation in complex real-world environments involving heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed information systems. In particular, we discuss how distributed object management

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

of the work 254 HACKMAN AND OLDHAM setting and the device of the autonomous work group. Absent from the approach, for example, are explicit means for diagnosing a work system prior to change (to ascertain what "should" be changed, and how), or for evaluating in systematic terms the outcomes

Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics

by Peter Mika - In International Semantic Web Conference , 2005
"... Abstract. On the Semantic Web ontologies are most commonly treated as artifacts created by knowledge engineers for a particular community. The task of the engineers is to forge a common understanding within the community and to formalize the agreements, prerequisites of reusing domain knowledge in i ..."

]. The idea of emergent semantics is to define the ontology as an emergent feature of a system of autonomous agents acting in dynamic, open environments. Besides an agreement over the kind of environment in which emergence could be observed, there is little common ground in what emergence would constitute. We

Negotiation decision functions for autonomous agents

by Peyman Faratin, Carles Sierra, Nick R. Jennings - International Journal of Robotics and Autonomous Systems , 1998
"... We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent for another. The model de nes a range of strategies and tactics that agents can employ to generate initial o ers, evaluate proposa ..."

A Fluid-based Analysis of a Network of AQM Routers Supporting TCP Flows with an Application to RED

by Vishal Misra, WeiBo Gong, Don Towsley - Proc. SIGCOMM 2000 , 2000
"... In this paper we use jump process driven Stochastic Differential Equations to model the interactions of a set of TCP flows and Active Queue Management routers in a network setting. We show how the SDEs can be transformed into a set of Ordinary Differential Equations which can be easily solved numeri ..."

Policy driven management of distributed systems

by Morris Sloman - Journal of Network and Systems Management , 1994
"... Separating management policy from the automated managers which interpret the policy facilitates the dynamic change of behaviour of a distributed management system. This permits it to adapt to evolutionary changes in the system being managed and to new application requirements. Changing the behaviour ..."

Workflow Mining: Discovering process models from event logs

by W.M.P. van der Aalst, A.J.M.M. Weijter, L. Maruster - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering , 2003
"... Contemporary workflow management systems are driven by explicit process models, i.e., a completely specified workflow design is required in order to enact a given workflow process. Creating a workflow design is a complicated time-consuming process and typically there are discrepancies between the ac ..."

Towards Requirements-Driven Information Systems Engineering: The Tropos Project

by Jaelson Castro, Manuel Kolp, John Mylopoulos - INFORMATION SYSTEMS , 2002
"... Information systems of the future will have to perform well within ever-changing organizational environments. Unfortunately, existing software development methodologies (object-oriented, structured or otherwise) have traditionally been inspired by programming concepts, not organizational ones, leadi ..."

, leading to a semantic gap between the software system and its operational environment. To reduce this gap, we propose a software development methodology named Tropos which is founded on concepts used to model early requirements. Our proposal adopts the i* organizational modeling framework, which o

Towards requirements-driven autonomic systems design

by Alexei Lapouchnian, Sotirios Liaskos, John Mylopoulos, Yijun Yu - Proceedings of the 2005 workshop on Design and evolution of autonomic application software , 2005
"... Autonomic computing systems reduce software maintenance costs and management complexity by taking on the responsibility for their configuration, optimization, healing, and protection. These tasks are accomplished by switching at runtime to a different system behaviour – the one that is more efficien ..."
