Resource optimization property manager for autonomic computing

Autonomic Computing is emerging as a significant new approach for the design of computing systems. Its goal is the production of systems that are self managing, self-healing, self-protecting and self-optimizing. Achieving this goal will involve techniques from both Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. This paper presents a novel concept to the autonomic computingjield, known as the autonomic property manager. The autonomic property manager is an autonomic manager that is capable of maintaining the management of any of the autonomic computing properties. For each property of the autonomic system an autonomic property manager will be dedicated to handle the duties of this property, i.e. a property keeper. In this paper we present a brief description for our proposed design of one autonomic property manager, namely the autonomic resource optimization manager which is responsible for managing the optimization of all the modules registered under its domain. By setting a specialization for each autonomic manager we can expect better performance and details abstraction.
