Survey of Frameworks, Architectures and Techniques in Autonomic Computing

A variety of frameworks, architectures and techniques have been proposed and used in the field of autonomic computing for self-management. There are also many applications and systems available that exhibit autonomic behavior. However ail techniques and applications do not explicitly use autonomic or self-* terminologies to describe their autonomic characteristics. In this survey paper, a review of existing autonomic frameworks, architectures and self-management techniques is presented. It gives a panoramic picture of the research fields of autonomic computing. Further analysis is done to categorize the surveyed frameworks, architectures, infrastructures and techniques.
