Toward Self-Managing Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
System management, now mainly a manual process based on individual knowledge and experience of administrators, is now very time-consuming, inefficient, and error-prone. This paper proposes an open framework to design and implement self-managing systems that dramatically alleviates the burden of system administrators and improves the security and stability of systems. To be machineprocessable, system information is described using XML in the format of system information description language (SIDL), and security advisory or update notification for specific software issued by vendors (third-parties) is also described using XML in the format of advisory and notification description language (ANDL). The agent system manager (SM) maintains inventory of system information in SIDL (including the hardware type, OS version, services running, third-party applications etc.). SM also listens for messages, which are described in ANDL, from a support service relevant to software registered with SM. Based on the rules set by system administrators, SM determines how to handle the situation automatically. We have implemented a prototype of the framework that showed the effectiveness and efficiency of the solution. Key-Words: XML, system management, self-managing system, security advisory, update notification

This paper argues that our approach to managing the implementation of information technologies is often dependent on how we frame the implementation problem. The paper first traces the dominant ways of framing the implementation problem that are evident in the literature, and through this historical analysis, identifies the Leavitt’s diamond for representing organizations as the integrative con...
متن کاملBeyond Swarm Intelligence: Building Self-Managing Systems Based on Pollination
Nature exhibits a fruitful inspiration source for building self-managing systems. The human body’s autonomous nervous system, its reflex and healing system, or its immune system inspired the building of self-managing systems in the same way as biological systems as ant, termite, or bee colonies. Thereby, self-managing systems based on such biological, self-organizing systems mostly rely on Swar...

متن کاملToward a Formal Common Information Model Ontology
Self-managing systems will be highly dependent upon information acquired from disparate applications, devices, components and subsystems. To be effectively managed, such information will need to conform to a common model. One standard that provides a common model for describing disparate computer and network information is the Common Information Model (CIM). Although CIM defines the models nece...
