Autonomic Computing - IBM Research

Build computer systems that regulate themselves much in the same way our autonomic nervous system regulates and protects our bodies. This new model of computing is called autonomic computing. The good news is that some components of this technology are already up and running. However, complete autonomic systems do not yet exist. This is not a proprietary solution. It's a radical change in the way businesses, academia, and even the government design, develop, manage and maintain computer systems. Autonomic computing calls for a whole new area of study and a whole new way of conducting business. We urge you to explore this site and download the full text of autonomic computing manifesto to learn more about autonomic computing and its implications for business and academia. We invite you to help launch the next era of computing.
