Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products, and a method of doing business are disclosed for autonomically provisioning network-accessible services in a decentralized network having a federated grid infrastructure. Autonomic, grid, and web services-related technologies, standards, and concepts are leveraged. More particularly, web service behaviors (augmented as grid services, according to preferred embodiments) are autonomically provisioned (i.e., dynamically distributed) via a grid of hosting services. In preferred embodiments, this dynamic distribution occurs in response to (and as a function of) external catalysts, such as algorithms that monitor designated resources (e.g., to proactively determine when the commitments in a utility service provider's service level agreements are in jeopardy).
