FARM: a feedback-based adaptive resource management for autonomous hot-spot convergence system

We present a novel and comprehensive resource management solution for the autonomous hot-spot convergence system (AHSCS) that uses sensor web. This solution is in response to a call for solution at the WPDRTS 2002. The proposed solution involves system analysis and design and developing a new resource management methodology, which we call Feedback-based Adaptive Resource Management (FARM). The FARM methodology combines the advantages of feedback control scheduling, path-based scheduling, value-based scheduling, and survivability strategies to provide dependable (predictable, reliable, and secure) services to the AHSCS.
