The new center is an extension of the India Software Laboratory. It is dedicated to advancing IBM’s global Autonomic Computing initiative, which has worked for the past five years to reduce complexity by automating processes and building intelligence into IT systems.

The center employs more than 35 developers and engineers who are responsible for creating new autonomic software, testing and supporting services and providing enablement support for local clients, business partners and academic institutions.

The center works closely with IBM’s worldwide Software Development Laboratories, particularly those in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA and Toronto, Canada to provide worldwide autonomic solutions, the statement said.

The Autonomic Computing Technology Center in India will also work closely with the IBM India Research Laboratory, with sites in New Delhi and Bangalore, which conducts advanced autonomic research.

"Self-managing autonomic technologies are needed by clients in many industries across the globe but it's particularly relevant for Indian, ASEAN and Asia Pacific companies that are experiencing rapid growth," said Harish Grama, vice president of the India Software Laboratory.

"The new Autonomic Computing center in Bangalore further expands IBM's research and development presence in India and improves our ability to meet local customer and partner needs," he added in the statement.

The new Autonomic Computing Technology Center joins an existing center that IBM opened in the Yamato Software Development Laboratory, in Japan in July 2005.
