Rating: (1)

Overview: This paper published by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers describes that Self-systems are self-organizing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-tuning and, in general, self managing. Ursa Minor is a large-scale storage infrastructure being designed and deployed at Carnegie Mellon University, with the goal of taking steps towards the self-ideal.
