First Claim
Patent Images
1. An autonomic computing system, comprising:
- an autonomic manager; and
a knowledge source accessible by the autonomic manager and any other entities associated with the autonomic computing system, wherein the knowledge source comprises;
a service interface adapted for the autonomic manager to access the knowledge source, wherein knowledge is loadable from the knowledge source to the autonomic manager via the service interface, wherein the loadable knowledge comprises symptom knowledge related to conditions, events and other occurrences within the autonomic computing system influencing how the autonomic manager is to respond in performing a monitor, analyze, plan and execute (MAPE) autonomic computing loop; and
a multiplicity of knowledge elements.
