are also composed in an autonomic fashion Atomization Functions should be divided into atomic units to allow for maximal re-composition freedom. Closed control loop A fundamental concept of Control theory, the closed control loop, is among the fundamental principles of autonomic networking. A closed control loop maintains the properties of the controlled system within desired bounds by constantly monitoring target parameters.
