Self-Managing Pervasive Computing

Abstract

The focus of this tutorial is to provide a synopsis of self-managing computing also known as Autonomic Computing. In doing so, we will introduce the techniques that enable computer systems to manage themselves so as to minimise the need for human input. This will also discuss how self-managing systems can address some of the issues resulting from the ever-increasing complexity of software administration and the growing difficulty encountered by software administrators in performing their job effectively.
