”Autonomic computing” aims to address the challenge of managing complex computing systems by enabling them to self-administer (e.g. self-configure, -heal, -optimise, -protect, and -adapt). In addition to specific self-management algorithms, autonomic systems that operate in complex competitive environments must also be able to dynamically integrate such algorithms and other computing resources into a coherent whole, in order to adapt to changing objectives and to use available resources opportunistically. This presentation will show how software engineering can facilitate the understanding, development and maintenance of such networked autonomic systems; by offering a structural and methodological foundation that includes generic goal formalisations and reusable integration patterns.
