Abstract

A crucial challenge for future computing environments is the development and management complexity caused by an increase in mobility and heterogeneity of networked devices. Autonomous, service-oriented computing environments promise to significantly reduce the management overhead and the need for human intervention. Making services autonomous, requires a shift in the design of service life-cycles, away from static, partially human-controlled mechanisms towards self-control principles. In this work, a biologically inspired service life-cycle is proposed. This life-cycle utilizes evolutionary principles for the adaptation and evaluation of services in highly dynamic computing environments. Additionally, approaches for the autonomous service creation are integrated to the bio-inspired service life-cycle in order to rapidly address users' needs on demand, but also to come up with completely new services.
