"The first was a vision of "e-business on demand," a blueprint for the future of computing. e-business on demand computing is characterized by four key traits?integration of systems, openness, virtualization of hardware and software resources, and autonomic computing.1 The second announcement concerned autonomic computing itself?IBM announced an organization, and a cross-company initiative, to deliver autonomic computing systems.
Autonomic computing is all about self-managing systems. At the core of the autonomic computing initiative is the concept that computers need to be more self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting in order to reduce the overall complexity of a system. Therefore, more and more emphasis has been placed on design issues of database management systems for very good reasons."
Greenspun (2003) references that, "From an application ...
