Autonomic enterprise service bus

In this paper, we describe the work that has been realized in order to add autonomic features to Cilia, an open source mediation framework developed jointly by the LIG/Adele team at Grenoble University and Orange Labs. Cilia has been designed for data and application mediation and is used in several industrial use cases. This paper, in particular, develops the notion of state variables and action variables adapted from control theory. It shows how they can be used to follow the state of integration chains and to bring changes at runtime.
