A Survey of Context Adaptation in Autonomic Computing

—Autonomic Computing (AC) is an emerging paradigm aiming at simplifying the administration of complex computer systems. Efforts required to deploy and maintain complex systems are usually high. Autonomic Computing may help to reduce these efforts by allowing administrators to define policies and then enable systems to configure, optimize and maintain themselves according to the specified policies. Context adaptation can be regarded as an enabling technology for future applications in the field of Autonomic Computing. In this paper we present a survey of past and future secrets of this enabling technology in Autonomic Computing.
