A specification method for the scalable self-governance of complex autonomic systems
… many others, have sought to endow computer systems with selfmanagement capabilities by delegating vital functions to the software itself and proposed the Autonomic Computing model. Hence inducing the so-called self-* properties including the system's ability to be self-configuring, …

Developing a global observer programming model for large-scale networks of autonomic systems
Computing and software intensive systems are now an inextricable part of modern work, life and entertainment fabric. This consequently has increased our reliance on their dependable operation. While much is known regarding software engineering practices of dependable software systems; the extreme …

Generic architectures for open, multi-objective autonomic systems : application to smart micro-grids
Autonomic features, i.e. the capability of systems to manage themselves, are necessary to control complex systems, i.e. systems that are open, large scale, dynamic, comprise heterogeneous third-party sub-systems and follow multiple, sometimes conflicting objectives. In this thesis, we aim to …

Self-adapting agent organisations
Autonomic systems, capable of self-management, are being advocated as a solution to the problem of maintaining modern, large, complex computing systems. Given this, we believe self-organising multi-agent systems provide a convenient paradigm to develop these autonomic systems because such …

Psychological Monitoring: Detecting Real-Time Emotional Changes
… nervous system activity. These separate autonomic systems correspond to distinct emotional dimensions: valence to the PNS, motivation (approach-avoidance) to the α-SNS, and activation to the β-SNS. This framework enables continuous, real-time, and interpretable estimation of emotion from …

AutoTaSC : Model driven development for autonomic software engineering
… has been achieved towards the development of autonomic software engineering tools and techniques including: policy-based management, modelbased development, service-oriented architecture and model driven architecture. They have often focused on and started from chosen object-oriented models of …

Limiting information exposure in multi-domain monitoring systems
Security monitoring systems have been recognized as a fundamental component of security management, and they provide the fundamental building blocks of future reactive and autonomic systems that can automatically respond and adapt to changes in their environment. However, operating security …

Evolutionary environmental modelling in self-managing software systems
… richness and sophistication of modem software systems has challenged conventional design-time software modelling analysis and has led to a number of studies exploring non-conventional approaches particularly those inspired by nature. The natural world routinely produces organisms that can not …

Investigation of a teleo-reactive approach for the development of autonomic manager systems
… of people. One way to address the problem is an Autonomic approach to software development. Autonomic software aims to tackle complexity by allowing the software to manage itself, thus reducing the need for human intervention and allowing it to reach a maintainable state. Many techniques have …

Investigation of somatomotor-sympathetic brain circuit abnormalities in two rat models featuring inborn differences in emotional behavior
… by concomitant somatomotor actions and autonomic changes that require intricate coordination of the motor and autonomic systems. Prior investigations by our group used a pseudorabies virus (PRV)-mediated retrograde tract-tracing approach to identify brain regions with parallel descending …

Component-Based Design and Service-Oriented Architectures in Software-Defined Radio
… new radio paradigm in the form of goal-oriented autonomic radios. We define SOAs in the context of SDR, explain how our vision is different than middle-wares like CORBA, describe how SOAs can be used, and discuss the possibilities of autonomic radio systems. This thesis also presents our work on …

Autonomic Product Development Process Automation
… to operate in this dynamic environment. An autonomic product development process automation strategy is proposed in order to provide a flexible, standardized approach to product development process automation and to significantly reduce the software maintenance costs associated with …

A Trusted Autonomic Architecture to Safeguard Cyber-Physical Control Leaf Nodes and Protect Process Integrity
Cyber-physical systems are networked through IT infrastructure and susceptible to malware. Threats targeting process control are much more safety-critical than traditional computing systems since they jeopardize the integrity of physical infrastructure. Existing defence mechanisms address security …
