With the rapid growth of web services and socio-technical ecosystems, the management complexity of these modern, decentralized, distributed computing systems presents significant challenges for businesses and often exceeds the capabilities of human operators. Autonomic computing is an effective set of technologies, models, architecture patterns, standards, and processes to cope with and reign i...

This paper describes the roles and functions of autonomic computing for personal computer. Based on the technology of autonomic computing, this paper defines an architectural model for personal computer autonomic computing to solve some problems , which lead to the crisis of software complexity. Based on this model, one test program with self-monitoring, self-analyzing, selfhealing characters i...

Cloud computing is a revolutionary paradigm to deliver computing resources, ranging from data storage/processing to software, as a service over the network, with the benefits of efficient resource utilization and improved manageability. The current popular cloud computing models encompass a cluster of expensive and dedicated machines to provide cloud computing services, incurring significant in...

Autonomic computing systems arose from the notion that complex computing systems should have properties like those of the autonomic nervous system, which coordinates bodily functions and allows attention to be directed to more pressing needs. An autonomic system allows the system administrator to specify high-level policies, which the system maintains without administrator assistance. Policy en...

Autonomic computing is being advocated as a tool for managing large, complex computing systems. Specifically, self-organisation provides a suitable approach for developing such autonomic systems by incorporating self-management and adaptation properties into largescale distributed systems. To aid in this development, this paper details a generic problem-solving agent organisation framework that...

Today’s software systems are becoming more and more complex, i.e. distributed, situated, open, and dynamic. In addition, there is a trend towards software that deals with its complexity autonomously the term autonomic computing has been coined to reflect this system behaviour. Making distributed systems autonomic means constructing these systems as a group of interacting autonomous entities tha...
