Abstract

With Autonomic Computing now in its 25th year,
this paper summarizes a special track “AI and Autonomic
Computing in 2026”. To assist in meeting the AC Vision, this
session addresses the continuing research that deals with the
general question ‘can Autonomic Computing benefit from or
be a significant part of the latest A.I. incarnation – Generative
AI, as it moves towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?’
