Abstract
In order to release the management burden during the process of dynamic sharing and integration of heterogeneous web applications, this paper proposes a framework of PDC-agent enabled autonomic computing (PEAU) system, in which PDC-agent is a novel agent that integrates policy-based management theory and contracts-based cooperation mechanism into traditional BDI agent model. The P, D, and C are the abbreviation of policies, desires and contracts respectively. The PEAU system is designed to realize the properties of autonomic computing, including self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection, etc. This paper focuses on the autonomous VO (virtual organization) formation and service composition.
