Abstract
Integrated networked systems sense a common environment, learn to navigate the environment and share their experiences. Sharing experiences simplifies learning, reducing costly trial and error in complex environments. However, integration produces dependencies that make constituent systems less robust to failures, unexpected outputs and performance anomalies. Even with APIs and reflective, self-aware techniques, system integration still requires expert programming and tuning. Self-integrating systems proposed in recent research automate integration, but can be challenging to validate at scale. We therefore propose CHARIOT, a common test environment to allow for different approaches and systems to be deployed, assessed and compared on a shared platform for the development of self-integrating systems. In this paper, we discuss the underlying requirements and challenges, potential metrics, and a system metamodel to accommodate these.
