This is a very hard and challenging domain because current systems are becoming more and more complex, distributed, interconnected and subject to rapidly changing. A natural Autonomic Computing evolution in relation to Current Computing is to provide systems with Self-Managing ability with a minimum human interference. This paper addresses the resolution of complex scheduling problems using cooperative negotiation. A Multi-Agent Autonomic and Meta-heuristics based framework with self-configuring capabilities is proposed.engIntelligent decision support systemDistributed agent systemMeta-heuristicsComputational intelligenceDynamic schedulingbook part2013-04-1110.1007/978-94-007-4722-7_10
