Abstraction involves changing the interface of an object and exposing it in a more useful or appropriate form. This may be done by providing a layer of software, or whatever, which makes an object or collection of objects easier to manage by exposing a different object with a different interface. An example of this would be presenting the user with a tier of a service, for example of tier of web servers and their associated load balancer. The user would then manage the whole tier as a single object, including web tier attributes and load balancing policies, rather than managing each individual component.

All > Technology > Parallel Computing > Grid Computing
The capacity of a computer or system to perform tasks commonly associated with the higher intellectual processes characteristic of humans. AI can be seen as an attempt to model aspects of human thought on computers. Although certain aspects of AI will undoubtedly make contributions to autonomic computing, autonomic computing does not have as its primary objective the emulation of human thought.

The capability of computer systems and networks to automatically configure themselves to changing conditions and heal themselves in the event of failure. Autonomy implies that less human intervention is required for operation under such conditions.
An approach to self-managed computing systems with a minimum of human interference. The term derives from the body's autonomic nervous system, which controls key functions without conscious awareness or involvement.
