Within the past two decades the development of raw computing power coupled with the proliferation of computer devices has grown at exponential rates . This phenomenal growth along with the advent of the Internet has led to a new age of accessibility - to other people , other systems , and most importantly , to information . With this explosive growth , system complexities are reaching a level beyond human ability to manage and secure . This increasing complexity points towards an inevitable need to automate many of the functions associated with computing today . Thus came the term autonomic computing . Autonomic Computing [121] has a broad scope and might mean different things for different people , but following are come of the important aspects of an autonomic system .
• Self Awareness
• Autonomic System Configuration / "Setup"
• Self Healing
• Adaptability
• Hiding Complexity
• Detect , identify and protect itself
• Always looks for ways to optimize it's working
In this thesis I will try to address some of the issues related of Autonomic Systems . |
