Abstract

Autonomic computing is about systems that can manage themselves. Self-management includes self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, etc. self-* properties. Agent technology offers key advantages for the development of autonomic computing systems as it supports autonomy, adaptability, etc. Current Web service standards and technologies do not provide a suitable architecture in which all aspects of self-management can be designed. Moreover, traditional registries are passive entities and are not able to participate, in an autonomic manner, to the Web service adaptation process. In this paper, we present an Agent-based Framework for Autonomic Web Services AFAWS. This framework is based on two agent-based systems which collaborate to enrich Web services and registries with self-* capabilities.
