Abstract :
This article is an introduction to our research towards a new generic architecture model for autonomic elements. In this article, we present briefly the autonomic system specification language (ASSL) framework, which emphasizes the new architecture model. We go over the multi-tier architecture of the ASSL framework and explain in detail the autonomic element architecture ´s functional units. Moreover, we reveal the different architecture styles of autonomic systems imposed by ASSL. In this paper, we do not talk about implementation concerns or syntax and semantic aspects of ASSL, since these are going to be tackled by our ongoing research and described in other papers.
