| 4 | {{{ |
| 5 | As a scientific discipline, autonomic computing encompasses the study of |
| 6 | systems that are capable of autonomously achieving desired behaviors. The |
| 7 | systems are often called self-* systems, where * is a placeholder for the |
| 8 | type of behavior. For example, self-tuned systems are capable of tuning |
| 9 | their performance as needed by their intended mission; self-protected |
| 10 | systems automatically deal with intrusion attacks. Self-managed systems |
| 11 | do not require manual configuration and updating, and self-healing systems |
| 12 | are capable of repairing themselves. Self-managed systems can also be more |
| 13 | broadly construed as being capable of managing all behaviors mentioned above. |
