Autonomic Computing: Implementing the Vision

The need for autonomic computing systems – technologies that enable systems to be more selfmanaging and require minimal human intervention – is growing every day as systems become more complex, more difficult to maintain, and more expensive to manage. The technology is not science fiction. IBM has products with autonomic capabilities available today, and is developing new technologies to move customers to ever-increasing levels of autonomic computing. Alan Ganek, IBM Vice President of Autonomic Computing, is responsible for developing the autonomic roadmap and for driving the appropriate technologies throughout the research community and into IBM products. Come hear his vision of the future of autonomic computing.
