Demonstrating Communication Services Based on Autonomic Self-Organization

This paper reports the main results achieved in the development of a prototype for demonstrating communication services, based on the principles autonomic self-organisation. In particular, the prototype has been designed and developed as a distributed adaptable complex system, realized by means of a population of lightweight autonomic components interacting with each other through self-organizing algorithms. A demonstration prototype to show the collaborative ambient of a rescue team in a critical situation with limited connectivity, such as mobility, data distribution and high probability of disconnection, has been simulated. This prototype show both how these factors represent strong challenges for current software architecture and how the distributed lightweight components can self-organize themselves in order to face these challenges.
