Short Write-up on Talk:
Emerging pervasive Grid computing environments are enabling a new
generation of applications in all domains, which are based on seamless
aggregation and interactions of resources, services and information.
However the scale, dynamism and uncertainty of these environments and
applications present significant development, configuration and
management challenges. Addressing these challenges has led researchers
to consider alternative programming paradigms and management
techniques that are inspired by strategies used by biological systems
to deal with complexity, dynamism, heterogeneity and uncertainty. In
this talk I will motivate and introduce autonomic Grid computing,
highlight its challenges and opportunities and describe potential
applications. I will then introduce solutions being developed at
TASSL, Rutgers University as part of Project AutoMate for enabling
autonomic applications on Grids.

Profile of Speaker,
Manish Parashar is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
Rutgers University, where he also is co-director of the Centre for
