Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Self-organization has been investigated for long in a very broad range of areas. However, only till recently has self-managing and self-organizing computing received intensive attention. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of important basic problems of selfmanaging and self-organizing computing, including the essence of self-managing computing, generic architecture of computing, real challenge of selfmanaging and self-organizing computing, and feedback-control point of view for self-managing and self-organizing computing. After a discussion of the essence of self-managing computing, the paper puts forward a generic architecture of computing processes. Then, the paper argues that the real challenges of selfmanaging and self-organizing computing are from open complex distributed systems. To address these challenges of self-managing and self-organizing computing, the paper presents a new definition of selforganization, from a structural perspective, and puts forward feedback-control framework for holonic selforganization of multi-agent systems. 1. | |||||||||||||||
