Abstract

The system management complexity is exponentially increasing for the computing systems by even threatening their viability. Researchers and practitioners are scrambling to significantly simplify the all aspects of system management complexity. One of the most notable efforts towards this direction is the autonomic computing initiative, which is inspired by how the human body works to manage itself. In this paper, we focus on the database security management. We approach the security management issues from the autonomic computing perspective. We consider situations where the database is damaged by successful malicious attacks. Our goal is to design the system in such a way that the database system should be able to isolate the damaged parts of the system and to keep the other parts of the system functioning as the damage is being repaired.
