Abstract:
1. A method for automatically maintaining an autonomic computing system in a steady state, the autonomic computing system having a plurality of parameters, each parameter having one or more thresholds, the method comprising: receiving by one or more hardware devices a value of a first variable specifying how the parameters are changed once a decision has been made to change the parameters, the value of the first variable being one of real time and variable time; receiving by the hardware devices a value of a second variable specifying how the system and the parameters are affected responsive to a change in the parameters, the value of the second variable being one of real time and variable time; and, adjusting by the hardware devices one or more of the parameters that are each reaching one of the thresholds of the parameter, based on the values of the first variable and the second variable, the one or more of the parameters referred to as to-be-affected parameters, so that the to-be-affected parameters are no longer reaching the thresholds.
