Apparently there are already some universities signed up on Autonomic Computing projects, more info was available on the website and in the nyt article. It also appeared in CNET."

    Robots, too, will resort to autonomic computing in imitation of la condition humaine -- lower bodily functions on autopilot, higher mental functions on artificial Mind.

    Autonomic is from the Greek word for "self-regulating."

    A self-regulating AI robot will contemplate the projects of a mind as listed at http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/webcyc.html#projects in the Webcyc for humans and cyborgs.
