Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 9 page paper examines the development of autonomic computing, how the theory is transforming into reality with different development to deliver autonomic elements that are embedded within system and tools being offered by companies to help developers create this type of content. The paper examines this in line with IBM's vision of autonomic computer systems. The bibliography cites 10 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
according to environmental confusion such as pupils dilating the autonomic adjustment of enzymes ion the stomach and even body posture, all adapt as required without the need for conscious involvement
(Russell et al, 2001). The individual, human or animal, may sometimes be aware that the change is taking place, but they do not need to control it, and are often
totally unaware of the changes taking place (Russell et al, 2001). These actions and reactions are controlled by systems of nerves which
have been developed over time as a result of evolution which instigate change as they detect internal and external environmental changes (Russell et al, 2001). Examples are the fight or
flight response, the respiratory system and the way it reacts to the detection of carbon dioxide and changes in the stomach after eating a meal. This is only a
parallel but the analogy is very applicable and accurate for the way in which IBM see the computer systems developing, to becomes self managing and self improving (IBM, 2002). To
respond in this way the body system is a complex system able to interact and can be seen as a model on which the design of an autonomic computer system
should be designed, helping increase efficiency as well as overcome the shortage of computer engineers. However there are also lessons, where complex systems are designed there may also be unexpected
and undesired interactions (Russell et al, 2001). These may be the computer systems as well as the way in which humans will interact with the systems once implemented (Russell et
al, 2001). It can be argued that no computer system can yet be seen as totally autonomic (Information Week, 2005, Lightstone et al, 2002). However there are movements towards this
