Autonomic systems are self-managing physical or software systems, performing domain-bounded tasks, that exhibit three fundamental characteristics: autonomy (execute their own decisions and tasks autonomously without external assistance); learning (modify their behavior and internal operations based on experience, changing conditions or goals); agency (have a sense of their own internal state and purpose that guides how and what they learn and enables them to act independently).
