- Architecture for an Autonomic Web Services Environment
- The growing complexity of Web service platforms and their dynamically varying workloads make manually managing their performance a tough and time consuming task. Autonomic computing systems, that is, systems that are self-configuring and self-managing, have emerged as a promising approach to dealing with this increasing complexity. This paper proposes an...

- A SLA-Oriented WSRF Container Architecture
- Service-Oriented Architectures provide integration of and interoperability for independent and loosely coupled services. Web services and the WSRF standards are frequently used to realise such Service-Oriented Architectures. In such systems, autonomic principles of self-configuration, self-optimisation, self-healing and self-adapting are desirable to ease management and improve robustness. This paper focuses on...
