Title : The Use of Control Loops in Autonomic Networking

Abstract:
This document describes how control loops are used in Autonomic
Networking. Control loops provide a generic mechanism to enable
the Autonomic System to adapt (on its own) to various factors
that can change the goals that the Autonomic System is trying to
achieve, or how those goals are achieved. For example, as user
needs, business goals, and the Autonomic Network Infrastructure
(ANI) itself changes, self-adaptation enables the ANI to change the
services and resources it makes available to adapt to these changes.
Control loops operate to continuously observe and collect data
that enables the Autonomic Management System system to understand
changes to the behavior of the system being managed, and then
provide actions to move the state of the system being managed
toward a common goal. Self-adaptive systems move decision-making
from static, pre-defined commands to dynamic processes computed at
runtime.
This document defines the requirements for an autonomic control
loop, describes different types of control loops, and explains how
control loops are used in an Autonomic System.
