title = "Radical concepts for self-managing ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments",
abstract = "Autonomous and Autonomic Systems (AAS) are essentially concerned with creating self-directed and self-managing systems based on biologically-inspired metaphors such as the mammalian autonomic nervous system. Future Ubiquitous and Pervasive computing environments will depend on such a self-managing infrastructure. Agent technologies have been identified as a key enabler for engineering autonomy and autonomicity in systems, both in terms of retrofitting self-management into legacy systems and designing and developing totally new systems. Handing over responsibility to the systems themselves raises many concerns for humans. This paper reports on the continued investigation into a strand of research on how to engineer selfprotection mechanisms into systems to assist in providing confidence regarding the appropriateness of systems utilizing principles of autonomy and autonomicity. This includes utilizing the apoptosis metaphor to potentially provide a self-destruct signal between autonomic agents as and when needed, and an ALice signal to facilitate self-identification and self-certification between anonymous autonomous agents and systems.",
