A coordination mechanism for self-healing and self-optimizing disciplines

There is an increasing demand for autonomic systems, which offer controlling complexity through a decentralized, multi-discipline and policy-based paradigm. In practice, only one discipline is often taken into account, while having shared resources and policies, it is required to coordinate dfferent disciplines. This research addresses the problem of coordinating self-healing and self-optimizing in autonomic elements by generic modelling of disciplines, and proposing a coordination mechanism.
