		<project:description><![CDATA[During the past two attempts to demonstrate our highly distributed
majordemo system we experienced many low level problems that prevented
the demo from going smoothly.  These ranged from machines being off
the network, to agents not being in the right state, to speakers being
unplugged.  It is well known that keeping a complex distributed system
up and running is a difficult task, made even all the more difficult
if many of the components are partially or completely autonomous.
This project will begin by investigating the techniques and approaches
that have been used to develop robust and "self-repairing" autonomic
distributed systems and then select a set of them to integrate into
our our systems (e.g., majordemo, cobra, etc.).  When possible, these techniques would be added at a very general level, e.g., to the infrastructure level or  as new agents or web services.  The goal would be to
actually improve the robustness and performance of our working
systems. For more information, contact Tim Finin, finin@Umbc.edu.
