Division of IT Convergence Engineering Applying Autonomics to Create an Intelligent Ubiquitous Environment Young J. Won, Hyojung Shin, Yeongrak Choi, Yoon. Seon Han, John Strassner Introduction and Motivation Ø Ubiquitous Computing Business-Aware Services Ø Customers want Context-Aware Services § Integrates information processing into everyday activities § User should not be aware of computing taking place Ø Ubiquitous Environment § Everything is networked and communicates, aware of your needs, and of the role they play § Same services at home, at work, in a hotel. . . Research Questions Context and Tasks Semantic Processing Optimized Service Ø Management Cost Reduction § Autonomics correlates diverse data, making management simpler and more effective Ø How is Information Shared and Disseminated? § OPEX reduction through task automation Ø How is Context Computed? § CAPEX reduction through re-purposing of applications Ø How are Tasks Defined and Assigned? § Maximize use of systems having special functions § Bridge gaps between expertise and capabilities § Addressing new interaction paradigms (e. g. , replacing linear with collaborative interfaces) Ø Model-Driven Engineering and Management § FOCALE produces a set of semantic relationships that can be used to connect the network data with the SLA through inferences from two different models. § FOCALE than translates this to vendor-specific commands and reconfigures the device. Semantic Foundation Ø Translation between Different Constituencies Ø Fusing Semantic Data into Contextual Knowledge Conclusions and Future Research Ø Ubiquitous Computing is a paradigm shift § Autonomics manages complexity Ø Management must become smarter § Transform data from diverse data sources to infer context § Make decisions based on fused knowledge § Dynamically generate code according to context and user needs to deliver business services Ø Work on Cognitive Management Ø Semantic Search § A system which understands the syntax and semantics of the user's query § Develop a new knowledge representation that better facilitates the fusion of knowledge § Prototype a new genre of intelligent query applications that are based on semantics, not syntax § Develop a new cognition model, inspired by how the human brain works, to manage any type of node References M.
