Autonomic ecosystems: experience of the CASCADAS project

Information Society increasingly depends on Telecommunications, ICT and Internet for some of its most important functions. However, today's network and service platforms are too static, brittle and not future-proof, due in large part to the quality of the underlying s/w technologies and architectures. Moreover current service dynamics are providing clear signs that blurring the borders between Telecommunications, ICT and Future Internet may open a new era of innovation and socio-economic progress for the Information Society. Development of Autonomic Ecosystems may pave the way to this innovation. Presentation will elaborate on highly decentralized multi-components environments for providing dynamic and efficient service composition and execution whilst allowing scalable gathering and aggregation of data, information and digital contents. Moreover the experience of the project Cascadas will be shortly presented and a demonstration of the Cascadas tool-kit will be shown (Nermin Brgulja, University of Kassel).
