Autonomic computing (AC) is a gifted progress to convene fundamental necessities in the devise of wireless sensor networks and its doctrine can be functional to competently administer nodes function and optimize network resources. Wireless sensor networks (WSN’s) are fetching trendy in civilian and military applications e.g. monitoring, inspection, home automation, disaster recovery and several...

Autonomic computing is the concept of designing complex information technology environments with the ability to perform management tasks on their own without human support. These systems have been defined by their ability to self-configure, self-optimize, self-heal, and self-protect. Administrators would only be required to specify the high level requirements of the system, rather than the mund...

Autonomic computing systems are self-managed systems without the need of human intervention. It is an analogy of the autonomic nervous system in nature. In an autonomic computing system the human operator takes a new rule, instead of controlling the system he just guides the system and devises rules for self-managing system. Every aspect of human life is automated and this makes everyday tasks ...

Software applications and architectures continue to grow in size and complexity to address ever increasing user demands. Autonomic Computing is the result of new thinking on how to address the complexity of new applications and systems with minimal human intervention while maintaining service level agreements. This paper provides a brief introduction to autonomic computing, and defines a first ...

Wireless ad hoc networks of sensor nodes are envisioned to be deployed in the physical environment to monitor a wide variety of real-world phenomena. Wireless sensor networks (WSN’s) are becoming popular in military and civilian applications such as surveillance, monitoring, disaster recovery, home automation and many others. Almost any sensor network application requires some form of self-conf...

An autonomic computing system has four basic characteristics, namely self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection. Autonomic computing can be viewed as a new computing paradigm and it is becoming a hot research topic in distributed and ubiquitous computing area. In this paper, we not only discuss the four basic aspects of autonomic computing comprehensively based on o...

The success of mainstream computing is largely due to the widespread availability of general-purpose architectures and of generic approaches that can be used to solve real-world problems cost-effectively and across a broad range of application domains. In this chapter, we propose that a similar generic framework is used to make the development of autonomic solutions cost effective, and to estab...
