Abstract

Incorporating autonomic functionality into applications without user involvement is useful not only for application programmers who are building distributed systems from scratch, but also for users of legacy systems. This paper proposes a technique of injecting user code with autonomic primitives by statically analyzing the legacy code and partitioning it to manageable autonomic components. To harvest the benefit of this approach, a transparent underlying autonomic architecture is proposed which requires minimal user interaction to operate. Our goal is to provide users and programmers of such systems with an easy to use environment to work within, fulfilling the vision of autonomic computing
