Project description
Self-Awareness in Autonomic Systems
Future software-intensive systems, such as sensor networks, power grids, satellite and robot swarms, will generally exhibit a number of characteristic features:
- Massive numbers of nodes, nodes with complex behavior, or complex interactions between nodes.
- Operation in open and non-deterministic environments with variable network topology.
- Need for adaptation, e.g. to changing environments and requirements.
Although there is a lot of research in this area, so far no theoretically well-founded technique for building ensembles exists. The goal of the ASCENS project is to develop such a method and to demonstrate its feasibility in three important application domains: robot swarms, cloud computing and e-mobility.
