Abstract

The vision of autonomic computing raises fundamentalquestions about how we interact with computer systems.In this paper, we outline these questions and proposesome strategies for addressing them. In particular, weexamine the problem of how we may make autonomiccomputing systems accountable in interaction for theirbehaviour. We conclude that there is no technologicalsolution to this problem. Rather, it calls for designers ofautonomic computing systems to engage with users so asto undestand at first hand the challenges of being a user.
