Overview: Computing is too hard. It's time we stop our preoccupation with faster and more powerful and start making them smarter.
The Solution: “Autonomic Computing” a systemic view of computing modeled after a self-regulating biological system; largely self-managing, self-diagnostic. User perspective:
- Flexible The system will be able to sift data via a platform- and device-agnostic approach
- Accessible The nature of the autonomic system is that it is always on
- Transparent The system will perform its tasks and adapt to a user's needs without dragging the user into the intricacies of its workings
