This article presents a survey on automatic software repair. Automatic software repair
consists of automatically finding a solution to software bugs without human intervention. This …

Autonomic Computing is a concept that brings together many fields of computing with the
purpose of creating computing systems that self-manage. In its early days it was criticised as …

The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

While attractive in principle, architecture-based self-adaptation raises a number of research
and engineering challenges. First, the ability to handle a wide variety of systems must be …

The important concern for modern software systems is to become more cost-effective, while
being versatile, flexible, resilient, dependable, energy-efficient, customisable, configurable …

Present large-scale information technology environments are complex, heterogeneous
compositions often affected by unpredictable behavior and poor manageability. This …

Traditional mechanisms that allow a system to detect and recover from errors are typically
wired into applications at the level of code where they are hard to change, reuse, or analyze …

Requirements for high availability in computing systems today demand that systems be self-
adaptive to maintain expected qualities-of-service in the presence of system faults, variable …

In the world of autonomic computing, the ultimate aim is to automate human tasks in system
management to achieve high-level stakeholder objectives. One common approach is to …

Autonomous or semi-autonomous systems are deployed in environments where contact with
programmers or technicians is infrequent or undesirable. To operate reliably, such systems …
