Minimizing maintenance cost of software by injecting autonomic computing elements

With the advancement of new development technologies, softwares are developed with enormous size and complexities and there is a big challenge to minimize maintenance cost. In this paper, a case study is done to demonstrate the minimization of maintenance cost while injecting autonomic manager as a self-maintenance system. Autonomic manager is derived from autonomic computing. Autonomic computing has four self-* characteristics which are inspired by human nervous system, that is self-healing, self-optimization, self-protection and self-configuration.
