History
The term "autonomic" originates from human sciences e.g. the autonomic nervous system where it refers to a control system responding involuntarily i.e., without consciousness to stimuli coming from its environment. The term "autonomic computing" was widely promoted by IBM as part of the Grand Challenges for the IT industry. See also the Wikipedia page on Autonomic Computing
Definition
- Autonomic networking requires self-* properties. According to IBM there are four fundamental aspects of autonomic computing:
- Self-configuring – systems adapt automatically to dynamically changing environments.
- Self-healing – systems discover, diagnose, and react to disruptions.
- Self-optimizing – systems monitor and tune resources automatically.
- Self-protecting – systems anticipate, detect, identify, and protect themselves from attacks from anywhere.
- Autonomic management: Acting involuntary (on reflex) according to some predefined policies in order to keep the system up and running within its limits.
- Autonomic (in general): (a) acting or occurring involuntarily (reflexes) and (b) relating to, affecting, or controlled by the autonomic nervous system or its effects or activity (http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autonomic).
Characteristics
- Autonomic management is sometimes used to refer to the set of management activities that take place in Autonomic Networks or Autonomic Systems.
- It also sometimes refers to all algorithms that automate management and/or control functions of traditional networks in such a way that they become more autonomic
Relation to Autonomous management
Compared to autonomous networks, autonomic networks are less intelligent and require a management interface.
- autonomous: (a) having the right of power of self-government; (b) responding, reacting, or developing independently of the whole (http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autonmous).
