Today’s
IT systems with its ever-growing communication infrastructures and computing
applications are becoming more and more large in scale, which results in
exponential complexity in their engineering, operation, and maintenance.
Conventional paradigms for run-time deployment, management, maintenance, and
evolution are particularly challenged in tackling these immense complexities.
Recently, it has widely been recognized that self-organization and
self-management/regulation offer the most promising approach to addressing
such challenges. Consequently, a number of autonomic/adaptive computing
initiatives have been launched by major IT companies, like IBM, HP, and
others.
Self-organization and adaptation are concepts stemming from the nature and
have been adopted in systems theory. Since computing and communication systems
are basically artificial systems, this prevents conventional self-organization
and adaptation principles and approaches from being directly applicable.
Complexity attributes in terms of openness, scalability, uncertainty,
discrete-event dynamics, etc. have varied contexts in large-scale complex IT
systems, and are too prominent to be solved by the procedures pre-defined at
design-time. Rather, they have to be tackled by means of run-time perception
of the complexity patterns and the run-time enforcement of self-organization
and adaptation policies. The current knowledge about large-scale complex IT
systems is still very limited, and a framework has yet to be established for
their self-organization and adaptation.
The methodology of multi-agent systems and the technology of Grid computing
have shed lights for the exploration into the self-organization and adaptation
of large-scale complex IT systems. Essentially, multi-agent systems provide a
generic model for large-scale complex IT systems. Exploring and understanding
the self-organization and adaptation of multi-agent systems is of profound
significance for engineering the self-organization and
self-management/regulation of large-scale complex IT systems comprised of
communication infrastructures and computing applications. A Grid computing
system exposes all the complexity attributes typical of large-scale complex IT
systems. Investigating the self-organization and autonomic systems for Grid
computing has remained a huge challenge.
To respond to the challenge above, apparently there is the urgency to have a
focal forum to exchange and disseminate the state-of-the art developments from
different disciplines.
The SOAS’2007 conference right aims to provide a timely forum to present the
latest theoretical and practical results on Self-Organization and Autonomous
Systems in Computing and Communications that have been arising in recent years
in the areas.
