Autonomic personal computing is personal computing on autonomic computing platforms. Its goals combine those of personal computing with those of autonomic computing. The challenge of personal autonomic computing is to simplify and enhance the end-user experience, delighting the user by anticipating his or her needs in the face of a complex, dynamic, and uncertain environment. In this paper we i...

The need for autonomic computing systems – technologies that enable systems to be more selfmanaging and require minimal human intervention – is growing every day as systems become more complex, more difficult to maintain, and more expensive to manage. The technology is not science fiction. IBM has products with autonomic capabilities available today, and is developing new technologies to move c...

This issue of the IBM Systems Journal explores a broad set of ideas and approaches to autonomic computing—some first steps in what we see as a journey to create more selfmanaging computing systems. Autonomic computing represents a collection and integration of technologies that enable the creation of an information technology computing infrastructure for IBM’s agenda for the next era of computi...

This paper provides an overview of the relationship between proactive computing and autonomic computing, considering the design of systems that are beyond the scope of our existing computational infrastructure. Autonomic computing, as described by IBM’s manifesto on the subject, is a clear statement of the difficulties and challenges facing the computing industry today. In particular, autonomic...

The emerging complexity in computing systems, services and applications requires the system/software architectures to be adaptive in all their attributes and functionalities. Developing a more intelligent computing system—autonomic computing system—which can run autonomously and adjust itself to the varying circumstances becomes the new major task for many system designers and system developers...
