Autonomic Management of Clustered Applications

Overview Distributed software environments are increasingly complex and difficult to manage, as they integrate various legacy software with proprietary management interfaces. Moreover, the fact that management tasks are performed by humans leads to many configuration errors and low reactivity. This paper presents Jade, a middleware for self-management of distributed software environments. The main principle is to wrap legacy software pieces in components in order to provide a uniform management interface, thus allowing the implementation of management applications. Management applications are used to deploy distributed applications and to autonomously reconfigure them as required.

IP poised to storm the call centre

An insular view of just the mature call centre markets, such as the UK and US, would naturally present a bleaker picture of IP take-up as legacy investments need to be more carefully considered when investing in new technology.
