 abstract = {With the complexity of computer systems increasing with time, the need for systems that are capable of managing themselves has become an important consideration in the Information Technology industry. In this paper, we discuss HOTAIR: a scalable, autonomic Multi- Agent Information Retrieval System. In particular, we focus on the incorporation of self-configuring and self-optimising features into the system. We investigate two alternative methods by which the system can configure itself in order to perform its task. We also discuss the Performance Management element, whose aim is to optimise system performance.},
