Abstract

This work presents a new reference architecture for multi-layer autonomic systems called context-controlled autonomic controllers (ConAC). Usually, the principle of multiple system layers contradicts the principle of a global adaptation strategy, because system layers are considered to be black boxes. The presented architecture relies on an explicit context model, so a simple change of contexts can consistently vary the adaptation strategies for all layers. This reveals that explicit context modeling enables consistent meta-adaptation in multi-layer autonomic systems. The paper presents two application areas for the ConAC architecture, robotic co-working and energy-adaptive servers, but many other multi-layered system designs should benefit from it.

In the literature, autonomic controllers or autonomic managers run a Mape-k-loop with Measure-Analyze-Plan-Execute functions communicating via a KnowledgeBase to self-adapt a software system.

Usually, hierarchic autonomic systems can be considered as a subclass of multi-layered systems, because the latter may share components on lower levels, i.e., their use relationship is a directed acyclic graph instead of a tree.

ConAC is intended to be spelled

We call the “layers” of a COP program its application slices, because, in this paper, layers are meant to be system layers.

Again, mixin layers are application slices, while, in this paper, layers are system layers.
