Abstract

Interoperability is an emerging need for autonomic computing systems, which stems from the very success of these systems. Autonomic computing is increasingly popular; soon autonomic control components will be commonplace, and present in almost every large or complex application. This inevitably leads to situations where multiple autonomic components coexist and interact either directly or indirectly within the same application or system. Problems can arise when numerous independently designed autonomic components interact. We advocate a service-based approach to interoperability and present a set of requirements for such an approach. We briefly present a universal interoperability service which automatically discovers and manages potential conflicts between manager components.
