Self Healing Computers : Ends Of Maintenance

Self Healing ComputersSelf healing computers could mean an end to computer crashes and performance problems.  Have you seen any computer who is repairing itself. Wouldn't it be nice if computers could fix themselves? What if you never had to worry about installing or upgrading software and hardware components? What if your computer could continually fine tune its operations to maintain peak performance? What if your computer could flight off viruses and malicious attacks from outsiders? For many people, this sounds too good to be true. Maintenance and security tasks like these can be time consuming and frustrating. If computers will have the power to self heal themselves then nobody will need the help of any separate department for this maintenance service in there office and business.

Now imagine if you run a business and unless these tasks are performed, you will lose valuable time and money. It is not a pleasant daydream and quickly become a nightmare without properly trained systems administrations to keep serves running smoothly. Yet many experts predict that supercomputers and business system are not far from becoming too complex for humans to oversee. Recent news from IBM makes the dream of self repairing, self updating and self protecting server seem ever closer.

IBM has announced plans to concentrate research efforts on developing just a server. The project, called the ACI (Autonomic Computing Initiative) project, hopes to free business from the time consuming maintenance and the complexity of business infrastructure. IBM hopes the new system will be the self regulating and virtually invisible. They believe ACI has the potential to revolutionize the ways business run.

Autonomic computer is a system that allows machines to run with little human intervention. Such computers would not have self awareness, but rather would be self correcting. Autonomic processes in machines are modeled after autonomic processes in human body. For example, you are not unconscionably breathing as you read this. Instead, your body monitors and maintains your respiration without your constant input. Scientists hope autonomic computer will be have in a similar manner and maintain self regulating system without intervention.

Autonomic machines would be able to sense security flaws and repair them. They would be able to sense slow operations' programs and take corrective action. They would be sense new equipment, format it and test it. These goals are impressive and the autonomic computer is still in development and will be available in future.

As technologies continue to develop, many computer systems have become too complex for human maintenance. This progress makes autonomic computing more valuable now than ever. However, it is important to note that autonomic computing is not artificial intelligence, because autonomic machines do not have human cognitive abilities or intelligence. Instead, these machines have knowledge of their own systems and the capability to learn from experiences to correct errors in such a system. 

Given the potential for a self maintaining server, possibility of a similar system designed for a microcomputer seems less like a dream and more like a reality. What do you think - will microcomputers someday care for themselves? Future is full of concepts that have to be invented in real ways that able to work like any human.
