1. A method for automatically maintaining an autonomic computing system in a steady state, the autonomic computing system having a plurality of parameters, each parameter having one or more thresholds, the autonomic computing system having a plurality of influencers, adjustment of the influencers affecting values of the parameters, the method comprising: in response to determining that one or more of the parameters are each reaching one of the thresholds of the parameter, the one or more of the parameters referred to as to-be-affected parameters, identifying each to-be-affected parameter and the thresholds of the to-be-affected parameter; for each influencer, determining a correlation value between the influencer and each to-be-affected parameter; and, adjusting one or more of the influencers so that the to-be-affected parameters return to more-normal values, based on the correlation values determined.
