Autonomic Computing and Networking

This chapter presents the rationale behind the introduction of the visionary concept of autonomic computing, as well as its rapidly progressing further translation into and convergence with the domain of modern networked systems. Even though it could be perceived as being more of an introductory, context setting nature only, in fact the chapter provides an extensive, additional commentary and analysis for the purpose of outlining the most comprehensive view on the current status and role of autonomics overall. To this end, not only are the key aspects of the original approach explained but the relevant conceptual and architectural changes are indicated to settle the ground for the introduction of the new concept of Autonomic Cooperative System Architectural Model (ACSAM).
