Purpose We expect ASAs to be written by a wide variety of programmers. Many will not be protocol experts (depending on the autonomic function concerned). They are not expected to be GRASP experts. An API description will not be enough. This document is intended to guide ASA writers on the general design of their code. 3

Overview of contents Logical Structure of an ASA Interaction with the Autonomic Infrastructure (ANI) details on next slide Design of GRASP Objectives Life Cycle Coordination Security Considerations 4

Interaction with the ANI Interaction with the security mechanisms Interaction with the ACP Interaction with GRASP and its API Interaction with Intent mechanism 5
