In this paper, we explore the idea of an autonomic cloud in the form of a platform-as-a-service computing infrastructure which, contrary to the usual practice, does not consist of a well-maintained set of reliable high-performance computers, but instead is formed by a loose collection of voluntarily provided heterogeneous nodes which are connected in a peer-to-peer manner. Such an infrastructure must deal with network resilience, data redundancy, and failover mechanisms for executing applications. We discuss possible solutions and methods which help developing such (and similar) systems. The described approaches are developed in the EU project ASCENS. date: 2013-09 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 89-94 id_number: 10.1109/SASOW.2013.16 refereed: TRUE book_title: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Self-Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems Workshops (SASOW) official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6803264&isnumber=6803233 citation: Mayer, Philip and Klarl, Annabelle and Hennicker, Rolf and Puviani, Mariachiara and Tiezzi, Francesco and Pugliese, Rosario and Bureš, Tomáš The Autonomic Cloud: A Vision of Voluntary, Peer-2-Peer Cloud Computing.
