Such systems' ability of autonomous online learning has been identified as a key enabler for SISSY as well as for the broader field of self-adaptive and self-organizing (SASO) systems, since it provides the technical basis for dealing with the inherent dynamics of non-stationary environments that continually challenge these systems with unforeseen situations, disturbances, and changing goals. However, the learning progress is guided by the experiences in terms of situations the system has been exposed to so far – this reactive learning strategy naturally results in missing or inappropriate knowledge. In this paper, we define a formal system model and formulate an abstract learning task for SISSY systems. We further introduce the notion of knowledge and knowledge gaps to subsequently present a novel concept to automatically assess a system's existing knowledge base and, consequently, to proactively acquire knowledge to prepare SISSY/SASO systems for coping with disturbances and other changes that occur at runtime. By the proposed a priori construction of knowledge, we pursue the overall goal to increase the robustness as well as the learning efficiency of self-learning autonomous systems. Endowing these systems with the ability of identifying regions in their knowledge base that are not appropriately covered, strengthens their self-awareness property.","PeriodicalId":164903,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 3rd International Workshops on Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*W)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131812629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is unclear, however, whether existing methods will be effective for resilient device coordination in open, complex, networked distributed systems like smart cities, tactical networks, personal networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). Aggregate computing provides a layered approach to developing such systems, in which resilience is provided by a layer comprising a set of adaptive algorithms whose compositions have been shown to cover a large class of coordination activities. In this paper, we show how a feedback interconnection of these basis set algorithms can perform distributed leader election resilient to device topology and position changes. We also characterize a key design parameter that defines some important performance attributes: Too large a value impairs resilience to loss of existing leaders, while too small a value leads to multiple leaders. We characterize the smallest value of this parameter for which the only stationary points have single leaders, and demonstrate resilience of this algorithm through simulations.","PeriodicalId":164903,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 3rd International Workshops on Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*W)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131107943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There can be various constraint conditions of placing VMs in such systems due to the concerns on security, availability, performance, etc. However, VM placement constraints can limit the choice of hosts for VMs, affecting the performance of the systems negatively. In this paper, we study constraint-aware VM placement in heterogeneous computing clusters. We first present a model of VM placement constraints that supports all types of constraints between VMs, and between VMs and hosts. Second, we discuss constraint-aware VM placement algorithms which optimize the performance for either energy saving or load balancing. Third, using simulations, we analyze the effects of different types of VM placement constraints on VM placement, and evaluate the performance of the algorithms over various settings. Our extensive simulation results demonstrate that the effects of VM placement constraints vary, depending on the optimization goal, the types of the constraints, and the system configurations.","PeriodicalId":164903,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 3rd International Workshops on Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*W)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134131977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Training a model of such agents to produce an emergent behavior by specification of the emergent (as opposed to agent) behavior is easier from a demonstration perspective. Without the involvement of manual behavior specification via code or reliance on a defined taxonomy of possible behaviors, the demonstrator specifies spatial motion of the agents over time, and retrieves agent-level parameters required to execute that motion. A framework for reproducing emergent behavior, given an abstract demonstration, is discussed in existing work. Our work extends that framework by refining the data that is aggregated to produce the agent-level parameters that the framework provides to the demonstrator. This is done using pruning and outlier detection based on information that is intrinsic to those data points (their source). Using pruning and outlier detection shows potential to refine the aggregation data to a fraction of its size, while maintaining or potentially improving performance in replication of demonstrations.","PeriodicalId":164903,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 3rd International Workshops on Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*W)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123309687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blockchain technology and smart contracts have received significant attention as they exhibit autonomy, decentralization, trust, and transparency over peer-to-peer networks while moving the assets digitally among peers without a third-party such as lawyers in conventional contracts (CCs). Smart contracts are computerized scripts or protocols that execute contractual clauses when certain pre-defined conditions meet and thereby digitally enforce the negotiation and performance of a contract. Smart contracts, although, being self-executable and self-enforceable, are irreversible once written and lack contractual flexibility in the face of a contingency. A high degree of automation is sought to manifest blockchain enabled smart contracts into the so-called self-aware contracts (SAC) that can be aware of its internal contextual environment and the external environment or real-world events. This Ph.D. work aims to develop the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model based multi-agent system on the top of the blockchain technology-enabled smart contracts to yield the so-called self-aware contracts. This research follows the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR) methodology.","PeriodicalId":164903,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 3rd International Workshops on Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS*W)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126975512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
