The autonomic computing is the approach consisting in providing the Logiciel S and the Matériel S with internal or external parapets allowing them to restore their function in the event of not planned deterioration automatically . It was introduced by IBM and is strongly inspired by research in autonomous agents and systems multi-agents.

Utility

The Ordinateur S - each one can note it as well under Microsoft Windows as under GNU/Linux - utilize mechanisms of a great brittleness, the various components Logiciel S (or Matériel S) being based the ones on the others like a house of cards : that one of the components (following a Incident, of an human error or a Malveillance, etc ) is deteriorated, and it is the unit which does not function correctly any more.

Examples of uses

Thus, on certain waiters IBM, a failure repeated of a bit given in the memory, although corrected by ECC each time, led to the automatic and instantaneous replacement of this bit by another of very the Cell memory (device ECC not occupying an integer of bytes, several bits of help is available in reserve).

Another device automatically restores in the few seconds a vital file deteriorated by a Pirate or a wrong movement.
