“…The contribution of autonomic computing to personal computing is different being much less about achieving optimum performance or exploiting redundancy and more about simplifying use of the equipment and the associated services involved (Bantz & Frank, 2003;Sterritt & Bantz, 2004). This is an important area because, potentially, it can affect every computer user.…”

Like the autonomic responses in the human body, autonomic computing systems recognize their own health problems and, where possible, respond to correct them. Failing that, external help is required. The purpose of this paper is to consider how autonomic systems might be structured to facilitate health monitoring. The approach uses a 'pulse' monitor for each autonomic element, which provides a reflex reaction facility and basic information on the current state (health) of that element. The pulse mechanism extends the NASA beacon monitor concept. The different ways that pulse information might be communicated and used are examined. The discussion is illustrated with a personal computing example.

“…Due to the need for the differing levels of human involvement and facing the reality that the overarching vision of AC cannot be achieved overnight, AC maturity and sophistication has been categorized into five stages of adoption [11,18,19]: basic, managed, predictive, adaptive and autonomic. Assessing where a system resides within these autonomic maturity levels is not necessarily an easy task.…”

“…Personal computing offers unique challenges for self-management due to its multiequipment, multisituation and multiuser nature. Personal AC is much less about achieving optimum performance or exploiting redundancy (as in AC) and more about simplifying use of the equipment and the associated services [12,18]. As such, it is particularly relevant to deal with the move toward a nomadic, embedded and invisible computing future [70,71].…”

Autonomic computing (AC) has as its vision the creation of self-managing systems to address today's concerns of complexity and total cost of ownership while meeting tomorrow's needs for pervasive and ubiquitous computation and communication. This paper reports on the latest autonomic systems research and technologies to influence the industry; it looks behind AC, summarising what it is, the current state-of-the-art research, related work and initiatives, highlights research and technology transfer issues and concludes with further and recommended reading.

“…Most of this work, especially that in industry, has focused on server management [3], since requirements for reliability have increased, while servers have become more complex and hence more difficult to maintain. The contribution of autonomic computing to personal computing is different-being much less about achieving optimum performance or exploiting redundancy and more about simplifying use of the equipment and the associated services involved [3].…”

“…The contribution of autonomic computing to personal computing is different-being much less about achieving optimum performance or exploiting redundancy and more about simplifying use of the equipment and the associated services involved [3]. Within autonomic personal computing, examples of current research include: (i) automatic system configuration, especially for application or communication settings, as in Prism, which uses a rulebased approach (ABLE) [10]; (ii) sharing workloads through a PC-based local Grid [11]; and (iii) autonomic management of wearable health devices [8].…”
