Abstract

As computer systems, services and networks evolve, the complexity of the systems is increasing. Tools and metaphors that we used to manage the small collection of servers do not scale to support this growing complexity. By looking at the animal kingdom, our most intriguing autonomic system, we are able to create an abstraction which provides for greater clarity on system behavior and management, allowing us to design and implement decision making processes into our systems.
