The RASCAL System for Managing Autonomic Communication in Disruptive Environments

Abstract—This paper presents RASCAL, a contingency manager system with autonomic capabilities which enables collaboration among a set of ubiquitous services deployed in the infrastructure and/or in the ad-hoc network. Autonomicity is shown in the context of disruptive environments, that is, a series of locations that may be subject to intermittent or complete disruption to communications equipment. In this paper we show how the RASCAL autonomic architecture and its adaptable policies determine the types of actions to be taken in order to exhibit stability to the end user. I
