Abstract

The ability to change operational behavior in response to changes in both external and internal environment is an important aspect of autonomic computing. Managing such behavioral changes is challenging. We propose emotions as a useful mechanism for understanding the structure and use of behavioral changes, and present the design and implementation of the Emotion System, a stand-beside environment for ordinary programs. Both the metaphor and the implementation are designed to make it easy for software developers to integrate autonomic computing into their systems.
