Abstract

Firstly, an in-depth analysis is presented on the concept of autonomic computing and a generic architecture is put forward for autonomic computing systems. Then, a taxonomy is put forward for system adaptations and the concept and architecture are presented for each category of system adaptations. Thirdly, a brief survey is presented upon the states of the art of autonomic computing. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that the essence of autonomic computing is the automation of system adaptations for computing systems, which validates the synonymity between autonomic computing and adaptive computing, and comments are made upon the challenge of autonomic computing systems and the intrinsic differences between autonomic computing systems and conventional feedback control systems.
