SPAACE IV: Self-Properties for an Autonomous & Autonomic Computing Environment – Part IV A Newish Hope

Abstract

Self-* properties, or “selfware”, refers to current and emerging behaviours exhibited by systems that are considered to be “autonomic” or inspired by another view of self-management. We describe some emerging properties, which may range from self-adjusting to self-destruction. We describe the architecture required to create self-ware and discuss the relationship between autonomicity and autonomicity, and document some additional autonomic constructs inspired for next generation Space Exploration Systems.
