Abstract

Autonomic systems take decisions independent of human administrators and hide much system complexity when they do signal for intervention. Furthermore, they are expected to interact with their environment in an autonomous way, even beyond the boundaries of an individual organization. Autonomic systems will offer their capabilities as services partially based on service elements they acquire from their environment. In a commercial environment autonomic decisions, e.g. (re-)configuration, healing and anticipation will not be taken "at any cost". Financial factors will be combined with technical feasibility to obtain optimal outcomes. In effect, the maximum financial value of a system will be the result of an optimal operating policy and vice-versa. We use the term Autonomic Economics to describe this association between system design and economic efficiency. Here we interpret the Autonomic Manifesto (IBM, 2003) from an economic point of view demonstrating how financial criteria complement and enrich other technical aspects of autonomic systems. We further argue that the inclusion of economic criteria in the autonomic decision process will not only support self-management but also facilitate the communication of decisions and their trade-offs between the system and the administrator.

自主经济

自主系统独立于人类管理员做出决策，并在发出干预信号时隐藏了许多系统复杂性。此外，他们被期望以自主的方式与他们的环境互动，甚至超越了单个组织的边界。自治系统将部分基于从环境中获取的服务元素，以服务的形式提供其功能。在商业环境中，自主决策(如(重新)配置、修复和预期)不会“不惜任何代价”进行。财务因素将与技术可行性相结合，以获得最佳结果。实际上，系统的最大财务价值将是最佳操作策略的结果，反之亦然。我们用“自主经济学”这个术语来描述系统设计和经济效率之间的关系。在这里，我们从经济的角度解释自治宣言(IBM, 2003)，展示财务标准如何补充和丰富自治系统的其他技术方面。我们进一步认为，在自主决策过程中纳入经济标准不仅可以支持自我管理，还可以促进决策的沟通以及系统与管理员之间的权衡。
