Sustainable and Autonomic Space Exploration Missions
نویسنده
چکیده
Visions for future space exploration have long term science missions in sight, resulting in the need for sustainable missions. Survivability is a critical property of sustainable systems and may be addressed through autonomicity, an emerging paradigm for selfmanagement of future computer-based systems based on inspiration from the human autonomic nervous system. This paper examines some of the ongoing research efforts to realize these survivable systems visions, with specijic emphasis on developments in Autonomic Policies.

Engineering Ultimate Self - Protection in Autonomic Agents for Space Exploration
NASA’s Exploration Initiative (EI) will push space exploration missions to the limit. Future missions will be required to be self-managing as well as self-directed, in order to meet the challenges of human and robotic space exploration. We discuss security and self protection in autonomic agent based-systems, and propose the ultimute self-protection mechanism for such systems-self-&struction. L...

D eep space presents numerous hazards and harsh conditions for remote exploration missions, which must often operate autonomously without intervention from Earth. To increase the survivability of the remote missions, NASA is exploiting principles and techniques that help such systems become more resilient through selfmanagement and automatic adaptation. By adhering to the principles of autonomi...
