The software underpinning today's IT systems needs to adapt dynamically and predictably to
rapid changes in system workload, environment and objectives. We describe a software …

The success of mainstream computing is largely due to the widespread availability of
general-purpose architectures and of generic approaches that can be used to solve real …

Being one of the basic features of Internetware, self-adaptation means that the software
system can monitor its runtime state and behavior and adjust them when necessary …

This paper presents a formal specification-based software monitoring approach that can
dynamically and continuously monitor the behaviors of a target system and explicitly …

Biological systems are based on an entirely different concept of construction than human
artifacts. They construct themselves by a process of self-organization that is a systematic …

In this paper we analyze the self-* properties in the collective systems with respect to its
relationship with other concepts like emergence and propagation, then we will consider the …

The paper introduces a framework for the formal specification of autonomic computing
policies, and uses it to define a new type of autonomic computing policy termed a resource …

Computing systems and networks become increasingly large and complex with a variety of
compromises and vulnerabilities. The network security and privacy are of great concern …

Software complexity is the main obstacle to further progress in IT industry, as the difficulty of
managing complex and massive computing systems goes well beyond IT administrators' …

An efficient algorithm is presented for computing the k-error linear complexity of a binary
sequence with period p/sup n/, where 2 is a primitive root modulo p/sup 2/. The new …
