The fundamental nature of autonomic computing systems precludes any single company from delivering an entire autonomic
solution. Businesses have heterogeneous IT infrastructures and must deal with heterogeneous environments outside of the
enterprise. A proprietary implementation would be like a heart that maintains a regular steady heartbeat but can not
adjust to the needs of the body when under stress. Self-managing autonomic computing systems require autonomic managers
to be deployed across the IT infrastructure, managing various resources (including other autonomic managers) from a
diverse range of suppliers. Therefore, these systems must be based on open industry standards. New open standards will
be developed and shared in the industry to define the mechanisms for interoperating in a heterogeneous system
environment.
Here are some examples of existing and emerging standards relevant to autonomic computing in which IBM® participated.
