Service Composition and Coordination
(KM-SC)

Ability of a service system to automatically initiate and perform adaptation based on some criteria (such as quality, Security, distributed enactment, design constraints, etc.). [CD-JRA-2.2.2] (1) Ability of a service composition to automatically select and adjust its bindings with the participating services in order to ensure given quality constraints. (2) Ability of a service system to autonomously detect the need and/or engage in (re-)negotiation of Service Level Agreements using some negotiation protocol. Autonomy characterizes the involvement of the human in the adaptation execution. It can be done in an autonomous way (self-adapt), manually, or in an interactive form, where the execution of adaptation actions requires human involvement [CD-JRA-1.2.2].
Service Infrastructure
(KM-SI)

Ability of service infrastructure to perform monitoring and combine monitoring information to automatically detect adaptation opportunities and/or trigger adaptation without human intervention. [PO-JRA-2.2.2], [CD-JRA-2.3.4]
Ability of service infrastructure to use low-level infrastructure parameters in combination with higher-level quality and complexity information for service compositions and business processes, in order to predict and/or adjust overall Quality Attributes of a service system. [PO-JRA-2.2.3] [CD-JRA-1.2.4] Autonomy is the characteristic of a computing system capable to manage its own operation without human intervention. {SYN: Self-Managing, Self-Governing}[PO-JRA-2.3.1] [CD-JRA-1.2.4]
Generic
(domain independent)



Autonomy is a concept found in moral, political and bioethical philosophy. Within these contexts, it is the capacity of a rational individual to make an informed, un-coerced decision. [Wikipedia]
