These few examples illustrate the potential, scale of autonomic computing. The adoption and development of this type of technology has numerous benefits for corporations and commercial software in general. Today's modern society is totally dependent on the Internet and other information systems. But our current information systems need to be more reliable and better managed before society can put their trusts in such systems. With widespread automation through autonomic computing much of the complexity is removed, the systems begin to manage themselves—so it must be considered a desirable and achievable goal to implement autonomic computing.
