METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMIC COMPUTING SYSTEM PROCESSES USING KNOWLEDGE-BASED REASONING MECHANISMS

摘要

A system [100] is provided that includes a Model-Based Translation Layer [200] to accept an input event being formed in any of a pre-determined set of languages and protocols, and output an output message having a common language and protocol. The system [100] also includes a State Processing Layer [300] to (a) parse the output message to determine an event, an externally perceived state of the event, and an internally perceived state of the event; (b) determine a type of the event; (c) determine whether the externally perceived state of the event is substantially equivalent to the internally perceived state of the event; and (d) invoke policy control to lookup action functions to address the event in response to determining that a combination of the type of the event and the externally perceived state of the event is determined to be valid.
