The Model for Self-Managing Java Servers free download is intended to be a working model of a non-stopping, Java-based server. The server has the self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection of an autonomic computing, self-managed server. This paper provides further information about Autonomic computing systems capable of managing themselves in today's environment.
