KW - Software engineering N1 - computer bookfair2015; Includes bibliographical references and index; Software Engineering to Autonomic Computing -- Autonomic Systems -- Sources of Inspiration for Autonomic Computing -- Autonomic Computing Architectures -- The Monitoring Function -- The Adaptation Function -- The Decision Function -- Evaluation Issues -- Autonomic Mediation in Cilia -- Future of Autonomic Computing and Conclusions -- Learning Environment N2 - This textbook provides a practical perspective on autonomic computing. Through the combined use of examples and hands-on projects, the book enables the reader to rapidly gain an understanding of the theories, models, design principles and challenges of this subject while building upon their current knowledge. Features: provides a structured and comprehensive introduction to autonomic computing with a software engineering perspective; supported by a downloadable learning environment and source code that allows students to develop, execute, and test autonomic applications at an associated website; presents the latest information on techniques implementing self-monitoring, self-knowledge, decision-making and self-adaptation; discusses the challenges to evaluating an autonomic system, aiding the reader in designing tests and metrics that can be used to compare systems; reviews the most relevant sources of inspiration for autonomic computing, with pointers towards more extensive specialty literature UR - http://repository.fue.edu.eg/xmlui/handle/123456789/3591 UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1314/2013936543-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1314/2013936543-t.html ER -
