starting from scratch -- almost

The christmas hols (and the associated lack of work done) have put paid to any continuity of thought. The only thing I've done is track down three PhD theses that are pretty close to my idea of what I'm doing.

The first one is from CMU (I might even have had coffee with this guy once):
Rainbow: Cost-effective software architecture based adaptation by Shang-Wen Cheng, Ph.D, Carnegie Mellon University, 2008

Supporting architecture- and policy-based self-adaptive software systems
by Georgas, John C., Ph.D., University of California, Irvine, 2008

Service clouds: Overlay-based infrastructure for autonomic communication services
by Alam-Samimi, Farshad, Ph.D., Michigan State University, 2007

I've gotten in touch with Cheng and John Georgas, but I'm unable to get in touch with Farshad to get a copy of his PhD thesis.

Of course, getting a copy of the thesis isn't the same as reading, absorbing and understanding it. But it's a start.
