English abstract:
Self-awareness and self-adaptation have become primary concerns
in large-scale systems as they have become too complex
to be managed by human administrators alone, but
rather require a new blend of coordination mechanisms between
people and software services.
This paper presents a roadmap to effective and efficient
system adaptation through coupling self- awareness of globallevel
goals with sustainability constraints. Sustainability of
large-scale systems challenges self-adaptation approaches by
its intrinsic characters of global and long-lasting effects. We
introduce five levels of awareness: (i) event-awareness, (ii)
situation-awareness, (iii) adaptability awareness, (iv) goalawareness,
and (v) future-awareness. Within each level we
introduce applicable principles and subsequently outline necessary
models, algorithms, and protocols. The approach
puts special focus on the interdependencies of human and
service elements.
