In this approach, the concept of utility, describing the usefulness of a specific configuration, is utilized for representing knowledge.
In adaptive systems relying on feedback loops, e.g. the MAPE-K loop, various concepts for managing knowledge are established and could be utilized (e.g., Concept of Utility, Reinforcement Learning, Bayesian Techniques) [6].
Utility function policies are based on the concept of utility from economics and are used to measure and quantify the relative satisfaction of customers with goods.
The proposed approach relies on the concept of utility, i.e., measuring the usefulness, and leverages the well-established principle from autonomic computing, namely the MAPE-K loop, in order to adaptively configure scientific applications.
This approach represents knowledge by means of the concept of utility [7] known from economics, which measures the usefulness from the researchers' and the service providers' perspective.
He therefore ignored the concept of utility.
These vehicles played on the Americans' traditional love of pick-ups, but stretched the concept of utility.
In these and other characteristic forms, like his ice buckets and plates, the concept of utility is both physically and conceptually attacked to the point of destruction.

The concept of utility goes back at least to Daniel Bernoulli (Jakob Bernoulli's nephew) and was developed in the 20th century by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, Frank P. Ramsey, and Leonard J. Savage, among others.
