The growing popularity of the Internet has caused the size and complexity of communications and computing systems to greatly increase in recent years. To alleviate this increased management complexity, novel autonomic management architectures have emerged, in which many automated components manage the network's resources in a distributed fashion. However, in order to achieve effective collaboration between these management components, they need to be able to efficiently exchange information in a timely fashion. In this article, we propose a context dissemination framework that addresses this problem. To achieve scalability, the management components are structured in a hierarchy. The framework facilitates the aggregation and translation of information as it is propagated through the hierarchy. Additionally, by way of semantics, context is filtered based on meaning and is disseminated intelligently according to dynamically changing context requirements. This significantly reduces the exchange of superfluous context and thus further increases scalability. The large size of modern federated cloud computing infrastructures, makes the presented context dissemination framework ideally suited to improve their management efficiency and scalability. The specific context requirements for the management of a cloud data center are identified, and our context dissemination approach is applied to it. Additionally, an extensive evaluation of the framework in a large-scale cloud data center scenario was performed in order to characterize the benefits of our approach, in terms of scalability and reasoning time.

This paper introduces the state definition and diagnostic algorithm for autonomic control of manufacturing facilities. Smart factory systems through cyber-physical systems and digital twin technology are increasing the productivity and stability of existing manufacturing plants, which has become an issue recently. A Smart factory system is one of the key technologies that make up a smart factory system, to improve productivity, enable workers to make better decisions, and to control abnormal process flows. However, performing an autonomic control process based on large number of integrated plat data requires significant advance work. Therefore, in this paper, we define an abstracted facility state for manufacturing facility autonomic control and propose an algorithm to diagnose the current state. This makes the autonomic control process simpler by autonomic control based on the facility status rather then integrated facility data.

This paper is a study of deep learning among artificial intelligence technology which has been developing many technologies recently. Especially, I am talking about emotional computing that has been mentioned a lot recently during deep learning. Emotional computing, in other words, is a passive concept that is dominated by people who scientifically analyze human sensibilities and reflect them in product development or system design, and a more active concept that studies how devices and systems understand humans and communicate with people in different modes. This emotional signal extraction, sensitivity, and psychology recognition technology is defined as a technology to process, analyze, and recognize psycho-sensitivity based on micro-small, hyper-sensor technology, and sensitive signals and information that can be sensed by the active movement of the autonomic nervous system caused by human emotional changes in everyday life. Chapter 1 talks about overview and Chapter 2 shows related research. Chapter 3 shows the problems and models of real emotional computing and Chapter 4 shows this paper as a conclusion.

The mobility or highly interconnected and communicating devices and users has implications for the QoS in a ubiquitous computing environment. Therefore, it is important for location aware systems to detect location of mobile object correctly and Provide high quality services in ubiquitous environment. However, it is not easy that location aware systems offer highly reliable QoS to users because process strategies of location aware systems are limited by the capability according to the applied detection target objects. In this paper, we design an autonomic architecture which analyzes the location aware system condition and autonomously chooses the best appropriate process strategy. We also have simulated the Proposed architecture in order to verify its performance. The test results show us that the architecture using self-optimizing mechanism provides higher QoS to users in variable bandwidth.

Home service networked systems require a high-availability service with a proactive and practical fault management. However, as the system complexity grows, it is not easy to meet the requirement. Moreover, user may want to pay no attention to a sequence of complex or nervous maintenance jobs for system fault managements. Therefore, the home service networked systems must have self & remote fault management capability with a minimal human intervention for meeting high-availability requirement of the integrated systems that consist of the networked appliances or devices. In this paper, we present an autonomic healing utility equipped with a remote self-managing mechanism in order to both increase the availability of home service networked systems and decrease the maintenance cost.

Self healing systems are considered as cognation-enabled sub form of fault tolerance system. But our experiments that we report in this paper show that self healing systems can be used for performance optimization, configuration management, access control management and bunch of other functions. The exponential complexity that results from interaction between autonomic systems and users (software and human users) has hindered the deployment and user of intelligent systems for a while now. We show that if that exceptional complexity is converted into self-growing knowledge (policies in our case), can make up for initial development cost of building an intelligent system. In this paper, we report the application of AHSEN (Autonomic Healing-based Self management Engine) to in OKKAM Project infrastructure backbone cluster that mimics the web service based architecture of u-Zone gateway infrastructure. The 'blind' load division on per-request bases is not optimal for distributed and performance hungry infrastructure such as OKKAM. The approach adopted assesses the active threads on the virtual machine and does resource estimates for active processes. The availability of a certain server is represented through worker modules at load server. Our simulation results on the OKKAM infrastructure show that the self healing significantly improves the performance and clearly demarcates the logical ambiguities in contemporary designs of self healing infrastructures proposed for large scale computing infrastructures.

The Web Services infrastructure is a distributed computing environment for service-sharing. Mechanisms for Web services Discovery proposed so far have assumed a centralized and peer-to-peer (P2P) registry. A discovery service with centralized architecture, such as UDDI, restricts the scalability of this environment, induces performance bottleneck and may result in single points of failure. A discovery service with P2P architecture enables a scalable and an efficient ubiquities web service discovery service that needs to be run in self-organized fashions. In this paper, we propose an autonomic -interleaving Registry Overlay Network (RgON) that enables web-services' providers/consumers to publish/discover services' advertisements, WSDL documents. The RgON, doubtless empowers consumers to discover web services associated with these advertisements within constant D logical hops over constant K physical hops with reasonable storage and bandwidth utilization as shown through simulation.

추천 기술이란 과도하게 제공되는 정보를 여과하여 사용자에게 필요한 정보만을 제공해 주는 것으로 대표적으로는 협력적 여과가 있다. 그러나 협력적 여과는 희소성 문제와 확장성에 취약점을 보이고 있어 최근 이를 극복하기 위한 내용 기반 추천 기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 내용 기반의 추천 기법에서 효율적인 추천이 이루어지기 위해서는 각 요소별 가중치를 어떻게 설정할 것인가가 매우 중요하다. 기존의 연구에서는 요소별 가중치를 다양한 실험에 의해 결정하고 이를 모든 사용자에게 동일하게 적용하는 방식을 취하고 있다. 그러나 사용자마다 콘텐츠 선택 기준과 요인이 다를 수 밖에 없으므로 이러한 방식은 사용자의 선호 정보를 효과적으로 반영할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 선호 정보 분석과 함께 각 요소별 가중치를 사용자별로 자동으로 설정하여 보다 효과적인 추천이 이루어질 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.
