TLDR
A 2001 IBM manifesto noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet.Abstract:
A 2001 IBM manifesto observed that a looming software complexity crisis -caused by applications and environments that number into the tens of millions of lines of code - threatened to halt progress in computing. The manifesto noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet. Autonomic computing, perhaps the most attractive approach to solving this problem, creates systems that can manage themselves when given high-level objectives from administrators. Systems manage themselves according to an administrator's goals. New components integrate as effortlessly as a new cell establishes itself in the human body. These ideas are not science fiction, but elements of the grand challenge to create self-managing computing systems.read more

Virtual Machine Support for Aspect-Oriented Programming Languages
TL;DR: In the course of this work, Steamloom was implemented, a virtual machine with explicit support for AOP mechanisms, an extension of an existing virtual machine for the Java programming language that provides a unified representation of Java bytecodes that is accessed by both the virtual machine and the AOP functionality.

Reactive model-based control of reconfiguration in the fractal component-based model
Gwenaël Delaval,Eric Rutten +1 more
TL;DR: A reactive programming language is used, with a new mechanism of behavioural contracts, for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework, that automatically enforce safety properties on the interactions between components.

Programming Self-Organizing Systems with the Higher-Order Chemical Language.
TL;DR: HOCL, the Higher-Order Chemical Language, is introduced, where reaction rules are also considered as molecules, and the application of HOCL to the specification of self-organizing systems is illustrated.

Quality-aware runtime adaptation in complex event processing
TL;DR: This paper proposes a CEP query language that allows specifying changes in the behavior of the CEP system and its mechanisms in detecting events dependent on environmental conditions, and shows by means of a reference concept how the flexibility exposed by the query language helps to achieve significant performance gains.

The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network
TL;DR: This paper proposes several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroadcast to alleviate the broadcast storm problem, which is identified by showing how serious it is through analyses and simulations.

The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
TL;DR: This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
The Physiology of the Grid An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration
TL;DR: This presentation complements an earlier foundational article, “The Anatomy of the Grid,” by describing how Grid mechanisms can implement a service-oriented architecture, explaining how Grid functionality can be incorporated into a Web services framework, and illustrating how the architecture can be applied within commercial computing as a basis for distributed system integration.
