Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for updating a software component. A determination is made as to whether to update the software component (602). The software component is updated to form an updated software component in response to a determination to update the software component (606). The updated software component is automatically tested (612). A corrective action is performed in response to a failure in testing of the updated component (620).
Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and data processing system for providing an improved directory service for storing information about hardware and software components is disclosed. The directory service stores not only the information that other hardware and software components require to locate, and make use of, the components listed in the directory (401), but is also able to dynamically construct (402,403) 'meta services' that fulfill a client's functionality requirements (400).

Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and data processing system for recognizing, tracing, diagnosing, and repairing problems in an autonomic computing system is disclosed. Rules and courses of actions to follow in logging data, in diagnosing faults (or threats of faults), and in treating faults (or threats of faults) are formulated using an adaptive inference and action system. The adaptive inference and action system includes techniques for conflict resolution that generate, prioritize, modify, and remove rules based on environment-specific information, accumulated time-sensitive data, actions taken, and the effectiveness of those actions. Thus, the present invention enables a dynamic, autonomic computing system to formulate its own strategy for self-administration, even in the face of changes in the configuration of the system.
