Autonomic computing - engineering and scientific challenges
Marin Litoiu · 2004
Autonomic computing is emerging as a new software research field, at the confluence of software engineering, systems management, and automatic control. The goal of autonomic computing is to develop software systems that are self-managing, that is, systems that are self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-protecting, and self-healing. This position paper provides an overview of the engineering, scientific and adoption challenges the new research field may face before becoming a widely accepted engineering endeavor.
