Autonomic and complex systems

Especially in the area of highly dynamic, autonomous, distributed and large-scale systems, traditional development, configuration and management techniques are often inadequate, both in terms of excessive complexity and inefficient overall performance. DISI is active in research areas related to self-organization of complex and autonomous systems, as a fundamental abstraction to achieve self-* properties through a bottom up methodology that allows us to obtain fully decentralized, extremely robust and scalable solutions. In addition, advanced coordination models are investigated, capable of coping with the unpredictability of behavior of parts of the system outside the control of the design, both for legacy and deployment reasons. DISI's research focuses on studying these systems, designing models to describe self-organizing systems, and analyzing and predicting fundamental properties of these complex systems, such as stability, resilience, and the ability to meet certain levels of quality of service.
