Page 9 /IBM Autonomic Computing, October 2003 © E. C Lupu, 2003 SMC Interactions Layered - Network SMCs interact with application SMCs, the SMC controlling a heart rate monitor reports to a diagnostic management device, … Federated, Peer-to-peer – SMCs for peer devices interact with each other. SMC Composition – Need to be able to compose SMCs into larger structures e.g., home patient monitoring SMCs “program” individual device SMCs

How to add/remove devices, controllers, and management services dynamically – extensibility How to instantiate and deploy SMCs? SMC Interactions How to define peer-to-peer negotiation and SLAs? How to refine higher level policies for lower level SMCs? How to expose/hide SMC management functionality
