- IBM Research: Autonomic Computing
IBM's Autonomic Computing research site examines a dangerous trend in the information
technology (IT) industry and proposes an unprecedented solution. Citing a serious lack
of skilled IT workers and constantly growing complexity in computer systems, IBM envisions
a time in the near future when maintaining these systems will become an impossible task. To
prevent this, a drastic change in computer design and operation is required. Autonomic
computing, IBM believes, is the answer. This technology could create computer systems that
largely maintain themselves with little to no human involvement. The Web site offers an
overview of autonomic computing and implications for business and academia. There is also
a manifesto in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format that delves further into the technology.
