Promise theory defines a method by which static service bindings are made in a network, but little work has been done on handling the dynamic case in which bindings must change ov...
Using conditional promises, the reliability of promises can be measured without considering the reliability of the whole agent, by defining notions of when conditions operate and ...
We explore how fixed-point operators can be designed to interact and be composed to form autonomic control mechanisms. We depart from the idea that an operator is idempotent only ...
It has been shown that sets of convergent operators with a shared fixed point can simulate autonomic control mechanisms, but many questions remain about this management technique....
Learned models of behavior have the disadvantage that they must be retrained after any change in system configuration. Autonomic management methods based upon learned models lose ...
