Overwhelming complexity has become one of the main opponents of continued growth and development in the field of distributed embedded systems. Following the example of automotive systems, this dissertation defines a novel component based IT-Architecture which eases the management and maintenance by applying self-management mechanisms. The definition of modular and extensible self-knowledge provides the foundation to implement self-configuring and self-healing system behavior. With this self-knowledge model, the consistency of distributed embedded systems is defined under functional, nonfunctional and real-time points of view. Based on the consistency definitions, different algorithms for configuration and healing have been prototypically implemented and evaluated with the help of a simulation environment. The mechanisms of self-management are applied to the automotive other IT-domains in a general evaluation.
