`Preface
`
`This book brings two research issues together: context-aware computing and
`the self-managing aspect of autonomous computing. Context-aware com(cid:173)
`puting is an extensively researched area, while self-managing systems are
`emerging. The goal of this book is to investigate the various roles context(cid:173)
`aware computing can play to develop self-managing systems, where a self(cid:173)
`management system can be a device, a middleware, an application, or a net(cid:173)
`work.
`The first chapter of the book identifies aspects that are common to both
`context-aware computing and autonomous computing. It offers a basic def(cid:173)
`inition of context-awareness and provides several examples ~ more focus is
`given to the acquisition, presentation and management of context informa(cid:173)
`tion. It presents as well basic aspects of self-managing systems and offers a
`few examples of self-managing systems.
`The remaining part of the book is divided into context-awareness and self(cid:173)
`management. The context-awareness subpart demonstrates how a context
`can be employed to make systems smart; how a context can be captured
`and represented; and how dynamic binding of context sources can be pos(cid:173)
`sible. The self-management subpart of the book demonstrates the need for
`"implicit-knowledge" to develop fault-tolerant and self-protective systems. It
`also presents a higher-level vision of future large-scale networks.
`Several researchers have participated in editing this book. I would like to
`acknowledge the contributions of Prof. Noriaki Kuwahara (Kyoto Institute
`of Technology), Prof. Ren Ohmura (Keio University), Prof. Markus Endler
`( Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro), Prof. Antonio Alfredo F. Loureiro
`(The Federal University of Minas Gerais), Prof. Mieso Denko (University
`of Guelph), and Dr. Daniel Schuster (Technical University of Dresden) for
`reviewing some of the chapters. Of course, there were also a plethora of
`reviewers whose names I have not mentioned here, but who have reviewed
`each chapter of the book and provided critical feedbacks.
`I would _like to acknowledge the contribution of my former post graduate
`student, Rami Mochaourab, who worked tirelessly with LaTeX to provide the
`book the shape it now has. He was always available, always willing to try
`new ideas, and always on time. Without his support, the book would never
`be finished on time.

`Abstract
`This chapter provides an introduction to Context-Aware Computing and
`Self-Managing Systems. It begins by explaining why self-management is de(cid:173)
`sirable in complex systems and by describing self-management aspects (self(cid:173)
`configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection). For all these
`features, a self-managing system's needs to have a perpetual awareness of what
`is taking place both within itself and without. It is this duly awareness of one's
`state and surrounding that leads to self-adaptation. As a result, the chapter
`tries to demonstrate the scope and usefulness of context-aware computing in
`developing self-managing systems.
`
`Introduction
`1. 1
`Computing systems are becoming very complex, highly heterogeneous and
`distributed. At the same time, the users of these systems are usually mo(cid:173)
`bile and demand greater flexibility and efficiency in terms of response time,
`resource utilization, robustness, etc., to achieve critical business goals. The
`implication is that operating and maintaining computing systems is becoming
`an increasingly expensive business. In fact, Fox and Patterson claim that an(cid:173)
`nual outlays for maintenance, repair and operations far excerd total hardware
`and software costs, for both individuals and corporations [l].
`This high cost of ownership of computing systems has resulted in a number
`

`
`of industry initiatives to reduce the burden of operations and management
`by making computing systems - at least gradually - self-managing. A few
`examples are IBM's Autonomic Computing, HP's Adaptive Infrastructure
`and Microsoft's Dynamic System Initiatives [2].
`Self-management derives its basic principles from the autonomous nervous
`system, which governs our heart rate and body temperature, thus freeing our
`conscious brain from the burden of dealing with these and many other low(cid:173)
`level, yet vital, functions [3]. This essential principle, if transferred well, en(cid:173)
`ables computing systems, whether acting individually or collectively, to receive
`higher-level objectives from their operators (users) but manage to maintain
`and adjust their operation in the face of changing components, workloads,
`demands and external conditions as well as imminent hardware and software
`failures.
`According to Kephart and Chess [3] and Tesauro et al. [4], a self-managing
`system contains an autonomic manager software and a (hardware or software)
`managed element. The managed element is what is being made self-managing
`and provides a sensing and actuating interface. Through the sensing interface,
`an array of sensors measure vital internal as well as external (environmental)
`phenomena which may potentially influence the system's short and long term
`performance. The actuating interface provides a way for the autonomic man(cid:173)
`ager to modify the behavior of the managed element. The autonomic manager
`itself contains components for monitoring and analyzing sensor data and for
`planning and executing management policies. Common to all of these compo(cid:173)
`nents is knowledge of the computing environment and service-level agreement
`as well as other related facts.
`The monitoring component inside the autonomic manager is responsible for
`reducing the amount of raw sensor data by applying filtering and correlation
`operations on the data. The analysis component gets refined data from the
`monitoring component in order to identify emerging or foreseeable problems
`or potential causes of adaptation. The planning component accommodates
`workflows that specify a partial order of actions which should be carried out
`in accordance with the results of the analysis component. And finally, the
`execution component controls the execution of such workflows and provides
`coordination if there are multiple concurrent workflows.
`
`1.2 Aspects of Self-Management
`
`A system is said to be self-managing if it exhibits one or more of the fol(cid:173)
`lowing characteristics: self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and
`self-protecting.
`Self-configuration refers to the capability of a system to dynamically ad-

`
`just one or more parameters to accommodate expected or unexpected change
`within itself or in the operating environment. The change may be due to de(cid:173)
`parture, arrival or failure of a component; a change in the business policy of
`the user; or environmental, social or political constraints. A self-configuration
`capability of a system enables it to keep on functioning in the presence of con(cid:173)
`tinually changing and unforeseen obstacles.
`Self-optimization refers to the ability of a system to tune its parameters so
`that it can function most efficiently. Efficiency can be measured in terms of
`cost, quality of service, throughput, etc. A self-optimizing system improves
`its performance by finding, verifying and applying the latest software updates.
`Self-healing refers to the ability of a system to detect, localize, diagnose,
`and repair problems resulting from bugs or failures in software and hardware.
`Finally, self-protection refers to the abilit
