Abstract

Large classes of autonomic (self-managing, selfhealing) systems can be created by logically integrating simpler autonomic systems. The configuration method is widely used for such integration. However, there are few formalized tools in support of this method for specification, compilation, diagnosis, reasoning, and distributed provisioning. As a result, the practice of this method is very costly and can lead to security failures. This paper presents a technique called Service Grammar for building these tools based on a novel analysis of protocols and distributed algorithms in a domain of interest. The technique is illustrated in the context of a realistic adaptive virtual private network. We show how lower-layer adaptive protocols can be composed to create adaptive behavior at a higher layer.
