Autonomic Management for Grid Applications

Distributed software environments are increasingly complex and difficult to manage, as they integrate various legacy software with specific management interfaces. Moreover, the fact that management tasks are performed by humans leads to many configuration errors and low reactivity. This is particularly true in medium or large-scale grid infrastructures. To address this issue, we developed Jade, a middleware for self-management of distributed software environments. In this paper, we report on our experiments in using Jade for the management of grid applications.
