      <h2>ACRL Awarded Equipment</h2>
	<p>
	 We have been recently awarded an equipment donation under the IBM Shared
University Research (SUR)
program. This award is to support collaborative research for the project
associated with "Combining
Knowledge Discovery and Adaptive Software Techniques to Build Autonomic
Systems". June 17, 2005

    <h1>ACRL Mission</h1>
	<p class='info'>
    IBM has initiated the concept of autonomic computing (AC), which promises
self-managing computing systems. Self-managing systems can automatically
detect, diagnose, and repair problems resulting from software and hardware
faults, and are capable of achieving high-level, system-wide goals defined
by human. To construct such systems, we have identified two challenges.
First, we must provide an intelligent knowledge base to analyze the current
status of the system, to discover deficiencies, and to provide a plan to
adapt the system. Second, we must provide software sensors and actuators to
monitor and adapt the system behavior, respectively. The synergy of these
two efforts completes the loop of self-management, namely, monitoring,
analyzing, planning, and modifying the behavior of running systems.
