Behavioural skeletons for component autonomic management on grids

We present behavioural skeletons for the CoreGRID Component Model, which are an abstraction aimed at simplifying the development of GCM-based self-management applications. Behavioural skeletons abstract component self-man-agent in component-based design as design patterns abstract class design in classic OO development. As here we just wish to introduce the behavioural skeleton framework, emphasis is placed on general skeleton structure rather than on their autonomic management policies.
