Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutonomic and Dependable Computing: Moving Towards a Model-Driven ApproachYuan S. Dai, Tom Marshall, Xiaohong GuanThe rapidly increasing complexity of computing systems is driving the movement towards autonomic systems that are capable of managing themselves without the need for human intervention. Without autonomic technologies, many conventional systems suffer reliability degradation and compromised security. Autonomic management techniques reverse this trend. This study describes the roles and functions of various autonomic components, and systematically reviews past and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,299 accessesView PDF Cite
