 MOTIVATION

 Present day IT environments are complex, heterogeneous in

terms of software & hardware from multiple vendors.

 Computing systems have evolved into millions of interconnected

devices whose interactions create complex web on increasingly
complex architecture.
Present day IT environment
Complexity of Information Technology
 INTRODUCTION

 It is a term coined by IBM .

 Principle similar to autonomic nervous system.
 Its main aim is to make computer system more self managing and
elastic, removing obstacles to growth and flexiblity.
 Helps to address complexity by using technology to manage
technology
 WHY AUTONOMIC COMPUTING

 “Civilization advances by extending the number of important

operations which we can perform without thinking about them”-
ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD

 This quote made by the preeminent mathematician Alfred Whitehead

holds both the lock and the key to the next era of computing.

 The high-tech industry has spent decades creating computer systems

with ever- mounting degrees of complexity to solve a wide variety of
business problems.
 CONTD…..

 Ironically, complexity itself has become part of the problem. It’s a

problem that's not going away, but will grow exponentially, just as our
dependence on technology has

 To overcome this problem IBM suggested a solution: build computer

systems that regulate themselves much in the same way as our
autonomous nervous systems regulates and protects our bodies.

 This new model of computing is called autonomic computing

 The vision for Autonomic Computing

“Intelligent” systems that:

Manage complexity
Know themselves
Continuously tune themselves

Adapt to unpredictable conditions

Prevent and recover from failures
Provide a safe environment
CHARACTERISTICS
 Self-managing systems that deliver

Business Resiliency
Increased Responsiveness
Discover, diagnose,
Adapt to dynamically
and act to prevent
changing environments
disruptions

Operational Secure Information

Efficiency and Resources
Tune resources and balance Anticipate, detect, identify,
workloads to maximize use and protect against attacks
of IT resources
 SELF-CONFIGURATION

Adapt automatically to the

dynamically changing
environment
 Internal adaptation
– Add/remove new components
– configures itself on the fly
 External adaptation
-Systems configure themselves
into a global infrastructure
 SELF-HEALING

Discover, diagnose and react to

disruptions without disrupting
the service environment
 Fault components should be
– detected
– Isolated
– Fixed
– reintegrated
 SELF-OPTIMIZATION

Monitor and tune resources

automatically
– Support operating in
unpredictable environment
– Efficiently maximization of
resource utilization without
human intervention
Dynamic resource allocation
and workload management.
– Resource: Storage,
databases,networks
– For example, Dynamic server
clustering
 SELF-PROTECTION

Anticipate, detect, identify

and protect against
attacks from anywhere
– Defining and managing
user
access to all computing
resources
– Protecting against
unauthorized resource
access, e.g. SSL
– Detecting intrusions and
Reporting as they occur
 And also

Self-aware
System is aware of its internal state.

 Context-aware
System is aware of its execution environment.

 Open
System is able to operate in an heterogeneous environment.

 Anticipatory
System is able to anticipate the optimized resources needed.
LEVELS OF AUTONOMIC MATURITY
 CONTD…

 BASIC :

IT professionals manage everything by hand.

 MANAGED :

Data are collected from the system (via sensors) and selected . The
time is reduced.
 PREDICTIVE :

Recognition of patterns and suggestion of a solution, the decision

is made still by human.
CONTD…

 ADAPTIVE :

The system makes and applies the solutions.

IT staff provides policies used for plans and monitors system’s
actions.
 AUTONOMIC :

Integrated IT components are collectively and dynamically

managed by business rules and policies.
 ARCHITECTURE

 Autonomic element is the

fundamental atom of the
architecture

 It consist of two parts

Managed Element
Autonomic Manager

 Consist of one or more managed

elements coupled with a single
autonomic manager
 CONTD..

 A Managed Element can be:

Hardware resource, CPU, database, Application service, etc.

 The components and functions of a single autonomic manager often

referred to as the "MAPE loop" for Monitor, Analyze, Plan, and Execute,
supplemented by a Knowledge base.
Core building blocks for an open architectur

Management using MAPE:

– Monitoring managed elements an
their external environment
– Analyzing the gathered informatio
– Planning and executing based on
information
CONTD…

MONITOR
 An autonomic manager monitors instrumentation data from multiple
sensors in a system.

 The sensors "sense" various aspects of the state of the monitored

computing system.

 This can include aspects of the hardware instrumentation, ambient

information ,and aspects of the software components
 CONTD…

ANALYZE
 This component of the autonomic manager contains the intelligence
required to interpret and correlate the above mentioned
instrumentation data.

 This component usually has the ability to consult historical data and to
compare them with current state to detect significant changes.
 CONTD…
PLAN
 Once an analysis report of the situation is completed, the planning
component can define a series of control actions that should bring the
system to a normal operating range.

EXECUTE
 This component receives the series of action steps from the planning
component, and puts the plan into action.

 It activates appropriate control points, or effectors, on the managed

platform following the proper sequence and timing
 CONTD…

 KNOWLEDGE BASE

This serves as a repository of knowledge, such as historical data

and policies, which can be utilized by the other components in their
operation.
 APPLICATIONS

 E−Sourcing

 Problem determination

 Complex analysis

 Autonomic management
 CHALLENGES

 Autonomic System challenges

 – Self-configuration in large-scale application

 – Problem localization and automated remediation

 – Decision making of coordination of optimizing process

 – Self-protecting against active threats specific types of threats

 −Needs for a abstraction and co-operation in relevant fields

 CONCLUSION

Autonomic computing is:

 Solution of today’s increasing complexity in computing science.

 Self-Management and dynamic adaptive behaviors

“The new economics requires that systems be

autonomic: autoinstalling, automanaging,
autohealing, and autoprogramming.”
