Autonomic computing framework for cyber-physical systems

The more systems are becoming to be controlled by computing devices. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are expected to be an alternative to the traditional control systems. However, there are several problems to adopt CPS since they cannot adapt to changes in environment and system failures. Autonomic computing concept is widely applied to enable systems to adapt changes at runtime. In this paper we propose an autonomic computing framework for CPS including overall architecture, development process and operation process at runtime. The proposed approach allows developers to implement autonomic CPS more systematically. To validate our approach we implemented the autonomic computing engine and confirmed feasibility of the proposed approach through Home Surveillance Robot scenario.
