This project will apply Process Query System technology, successfully developed in part by previous DHS funding at ISTS, to the important emerging area of autonomic systems and computing. The goal is to develop a software framework and implementation that will simplify the operation of complex computing systems, such as server farms and critical infrastructure information technology, as well as making such systems more robust with respect to cyber attacks and organic failures and degradations. This work will establish and enhance regional expertise in autonomic systems development.
