What is Autonomic Computing?

Autonomous computing is an emerging research hotspot. Mainly through the existing computer technology to replace part of the human work, so that the computer system can be self-tuning, self-configuration, self-protection, self-repair, and improve the efficiency of the computer system with technology management technology to reduce management costs.

Autonomous computing is a new concept proposed by the American IBM Corporation in October 2001. IBM defines autonomous computing as "self-management technology that guarantees the service level of e-commerce infrastructure." The ultimate goal is to enable information systems to automatically manage themselves and maintain their reliability.
The core of autonomous computing is self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-recovery. Self-monitoring, that is, the system can know the current status and capacity of each element in the system and the equipment connected to it; self-configuration, that is, the system configuration can be completed automatically and can be automatically adjusted as needed; Schedule resources to achieve system operation goals; self-recovery, that is, the system can automatically recover from conventional and unexpected disasters. Although all this was once out of reach, IBM's many industry-leading technologies have undoubtedly made people see the future of autonomous computing. IBM's long-term goal is to make the use of computing resources as easy as plugging a light into a socket. Autonomous computing will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for achieving this goal.
A basic principle of autonomous computing is to enhance the intelligence of each computer member so that they can "self-manage." For example, proactively monitor the status of the entire system and produce correct behavior, and coordinate with the entire system's management objects. The autonomic nervous system of the human body controls various functions of the body, such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure, all of which are unconscious parts of body function. We quote the similar concept of "autonomous computing" to allow the system to manage itself without human intervention. The ultimate goal is to create a self-managed computer system.
At present, the basic structure of e-commerce is becoming more and more complex, and human beings have been unable to effectively manage it. Multiple servers, middleware, application software, storage, and networks will exist simultaneously and in the future. To manage all these elements and ensure overall reliability, you must have self-management capabilities. IBM believes that as long as autonomous computing is not implemented, there will be no new development in e-commerce, and autonomous computing will be the focus after e-commerce.
