Smaller/Cheaper/Faster/Powerful/Connected ….

  • Explosive growth in computation, communication,

information and integration technologies

– computing is ubiquitous, pervasive – communication is/will be

  • Pervasive “anytime-anywhere” access environments

– ubiquitous access to information via PCs, PDAs, Cells, smart appliances, etc. (billions of devices, millions of users) – peers capable of producing/consuming/processing information at different levels and granularities – embedded devices in clothes, phones, cars, mile-markers, traffic lights, lamp posts, refrigerators, medical instruments …

  • “On demand” computational/storage resources,

services

– the Grid

Motivation: Complexity

  • Administration of individual systems is increasingly difficult

– 100s of configuration, tuning parameters for DB2, WebSphere

  • Heterogeneous systems are becoming increasingly connected

– Integration becoming ever more difficult

  • Architects can't intricately plan interactions among components

– Increasingly dynamic; more frequently with unanticipated components

  • More of the burden must be assumed at run time

– But human system administrators can't assume the burden; already

  • 6:1 cost ratio between storage admin and storage
  • 40% outages due to operator error
  • We need self-managing computing systems

– Behavior specified by sys admins via high-level policies – System and its components figure out how to carry out policies

The bad news …

  • Unprecedented

– scales, complexity, heterogeneity, dynamism and unpredictability, lack of guarantees

  • Millions of businesses, Trillions of devices, Millions of developers and users,

Coordination and communication between them

  • The increasing system complexity is reaching a level beyond human

ability to design, manage and secure

– programming environments and infrastructure are becoming unmanageable, brittle and insecure

  • Bottom line

– the increasing system complexity is reaching a level beyond human ability to manage and secure

  • A fundamental change is required in how applications are formulated,

composed and managed

– autonomic components, dynamic compositions, opportunistic interactions, virtual runtime, …

Convergence of Biology and Information Technology

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 14

Autonomic Computing?

  • Nature has evolved to cope with scale, complexity, heterogeneity,

dynamism and unpredictability, lack of guarantees

– self configuring, self adapting, self optimizing, self healing, self protecting, highly decentralized, heterogeneous architectures that work !!! – e.g. the human body – the autonomic nervous system

  • tells you heart how fast to beat, checks your blood’s sugar and oxygen

levels, and controls your pupils so the right amount of light reaches your eyes as you read these words, monitors your temperature and adjusts your blood flow and skin functions to keep it at 98.6ºF

  • coordinates - an increase in heart rate without a corresponding adjustment

to breathing and blood pressure would be disastrous

  • is autonomic - you can make a mad dash for the train without having to

calculate how much faster to breathe and pump your heart, or if you’ll need that little dose of adrenaline to make it through the doors before they close

– can these strategies inspire solutions?

  • e.g. FlyPhones, AORO/AutoMate, ROC, ELiza, etc.

– of course, there is a cost

  • lack of controllability, precision, guarantees, comprehensibility, …

Autonomic Computing – The Next Era of Computing “ Computer Systems that can regulate themselves much in the same way as our autonomic nervous system regulates and protects our bodies.”

(by Paul Horn, IBM)

Autonomic Computing - The Vision “ increasing productivity while minimizing complexity for users… ” “ to design and build computing systems capable of running themselves, adjusting to varying circumstances, and preparing their resources to handle most efficiently the workloads we put upon them. “

By IBM

PS: Its not AI

  • Does not require the duplication of conscious human

thought as an ultimate goal.

  • Does require system to take over certain functions

previously performed by humans

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 18

Autonomic Computing Characteristics (IBM)

  • 1. Self Defining

– To be autonomic, a computing system needs to know itself and comprise components – It needs detail knowledge of its components, current state, ultimate capacity – It needs to know all the connections to other systems to govern itself – It needs to know ownership level, from whom it can borrow resources, share or not to share, etc.

Autonomic Computing Characteristics (IBM)

By IBM

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 20

Autonomic Computing Characteristics (IBM)

  • Self Awareness

Possesses a sense of self and strive to improve its performance

  • Context Aware

Anticipates users actions and are aware of the context

  • Open

Communicates through open standards and can exchange resources with unfamiliar systems

  • Self Regulating

Possesses a sense of self discipline and can regulate its behavior according to the changes in its environment

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 21

Autonomic Computing Characteristics (IBM)

  • 6. Contextually Aware

– It must know its environment and the surrounding context of its activity – It will find and generate rules for how best to interact with neighboring systems – How to access available resources, negotiate usage deals/contracts

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 22

Autonomic Computing Characteristics (IBM)

  • 7. Open

– Must function in a heterogeneous environment and implement

  • pen standards

– It must coexist and depend upon one another for survivable (people connect to banks, travel agents, department stores regardless of the underlying software/hardware technologies used to implement these services

  • 8. Anticipatory

– Ability to anticipate workflow challenges and optimize system for immediate user needs

Autonomic Living

  • Autonomic living: autonomic peers opportunistically interact,

coordinate and collaborate to satisfy goals?

– scenarios (everyday, b2b coordination, crisis management, homeland security, …)

  • your car in route to the airport estimates that given weather (from

meteorological beacons), road conditions (from on-coming cars), traffic patters (from the traffic light), warns that you will miss your flight and you will be better off taking the train – the station is coming up – do you want to rebook ?

  • in a foreign country, your cell phone enlists a locally advertised GPS

and translation service as you try to get directions

  • your clock/PDA estimates drive time to your next appointment and

warns you appropriately

  • your eye glasses sends your current prescription as you happen to drive

past your doctor or your PDA collects prices for the bike you promised yourself as you drive around

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 29

Scope of Autonomic Computing (IBM)

  • Holistic approach

– Automation and manageability enablement at each system layer – Federated heterogeneous components interacting cohesively

How to Design Autonomic Computing Systems

  • Grand Research Challenges

– The challenges are greater than any organization/company – It requires collaboration between leading labs, and cross- industry cooperation on standards and funding university research programs

AICCSA'03 Autonomic Computing Tutorial, July 2003 35

Autonomic Computing Architecture

  • Based on distributed, component/service-oriented

architectural approach

– Components both provide and consume services

  • Autonomic elements (components/services)

– Responsible for policy-driven self-management of individual components

  • Relationships among autonomic elements

– Based on agreements established/maintained by autonomic elements – Governed by policies – Give rise to resiliency, robustness, self-management of system
