Organic Computing Middleware for Ubiquitous Environments

Abstract

The complexity of computer systems has been increasing during the past years. To control this complexity organic computing introduces the self-x features. The Organic Computing Middleware for Ubiquitous Environments eases to manage distributed computing systems by using self-configuration, self-optimisation, self-healing and self-protection. To provide these self-x features the latest version of our middleware uses an Observer/Controller architecture with an automated planner. Planning is time consuming so we introduced additionally reflexes for faster reactions. The reflexes are learned from previous plans and can be distributed to resource restricted nodes.
