Architecture of SLA Adaptation Manager using MAPE-K Framework.

Abstract

The key to the proposed architecture is the utilization of self-∗ capabilities designed to have self-management over uncertainties and the provision of self-Adaptive interactions. Thus, the Monitor, Analyse, Plan, Execute and Knowledge Base (MAPE-K) approach can deal with this problem together with the integration of Fuzzy and Q-Learning algorithms. The proposed architecture is in the context of autonomic computing. An adaptation manager is the main proposed component to update admission control on the ISP current resources and the ability to manage SLAs. A general methodology type-2 fuzzy logic is applied to ensure the uncertainties and precise decision-making are well addressed in this research.
