What is Self-Configuration

Chapter 31
Handbook of Research on Mobile Software Engineering: Design, Implementation, and Emergent Applications
A process by which computer systems or networks automatically adapt their own configuration of components without human direct intervention. Self-configuration technologies are expected to permeate among the next generation of computer systems or networks

Abstract
In mobile environments (MEs) such as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and so on, formal specification of self-configuring P2P networking (SPN) emerges as a need for programming and verifying such mobile networks. Moreover, well-specified SPN in MEs becomes a requirement of developing middleware for the mobile networks. Meeting these challenges of mobile networks requires a fundamental approach to the facets of SPN in MEs not tackled before. To this end, taking advantage of the categorical structures we establish, in this chapter, a firm formal basis for specifying P2P, self-configuration, aspect-orientation, and aspect-oriented self-configuring P2P networking (ASPN) in MEs. All of these are to support a mechanism of verification for ASPN in MEs.
