Anomaly detection and system regulation

When is a system behaving normally? What does normal mean? Is it something we decide according to policy, or is it a matter of empiricism?

At Oslo University College, we are examining these questions by building policy based control systems along side machine-learning agents. The agents are able to integrate what they learn about their environments and their own previous behaviour into a consistent picture of the world. This is used to motivate decision making during automation.

Our test implementation of the ideas is contained in cfengine's cfenvd component.
