Towards Autonomic GIPSY

The goal of the autonomic GIPSY (AGIPSY) is to make the General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY) capable of self-managing to a far greater extent than it does it now. This paper presents the AGIPSY architecture for autonomic computing based on multiple interacting autonomic GIPSY nodes (GNs). Moreover, we illustrate how this architecture realizes a number of desired aspects of autonomic computing, including goal-driven self-protection, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-configuration. We then present the autonomic architecture for GNs, these being the autonomic elements of the AGIPSY. In this paper, we do not talk about implementation aspects and test results, since these are going to be tackled by our ongoing research and described in another paper.
