Autonomic computing is a computer’s ability to manage itself automatically through adaptive technologies that further computing capabilities and cut down on the time required by computer professionals to resolve system difficulties and other maintenance such as software updates. The autonomic computing initiative (ACI), which was developed by IBM, demonstrates and advocates networking computer systems that do not involve a lot of human intervention other than defining input rules. IBM has defined the four areas of automatic computing: Self- Configuration, Self-Healing (error correction), Self-Optimization (automatic resource control for optimal functioning) Self-Protection (identification and protection from attacks in a proactive manner) Autonomic Computing promises to simplify the management of computing systems.
