Policy-based approach for non-functional requirements in self-adaptive and self-organizing systems

Abstract

Today's distributed systems are forced to deal with high and unpredictable dynamics, increasing complexity, and the satisfaction of non-functional requirements (NFR) like, e.g., robustness, availability, and scalability. The research intend presented in this paper aims at providing a policy-based approach to satisfy NFRs in self-governed fashion. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
