Abstract
Autonomic computing promises computer systems that are self-configuring and self-managing, adapting to the environment in which they run, and to the way they are used. In this chapter, we will argue that such a system cannot be built simply by composing autonomic components, but that a system-wide monitoring and control infrastructure is required as well. This infrastructure needs to be autonomic itself. We demonstrate this using a datacenter architecture.
