IBM's Autonomic Computing Products I.B.M. Releases Self-Fixing Computer Software. Autonomic computing is a major component of IBMs On Demand Computing initiative, the part that keeps systemic costs down. Their first releases are functions in their DB and App Server products. Look for similar advances to flow down the stack to support Grid Computing.
``All the IT staff does is define these business rules and the systems will then perform to those rules and make sure all the right things happen,'' said Miles Barel, IBM's director of autonomic computing. In addition to setting itself up and running, autonomic computing includes enabling systems to run in the most efficient manner and stay running, fixing itself when something goes wrong.
