Autonomous system is an independence system. In an organization, autonomous system consists of financial autonomy, academic autonomy and organizational autonomy. Financial autonomy is spending the funds as we want depending upon the need and not waiting approval from others. Academic autonomy is preparing syllabus according to the need and introducing industry based subjects, training slots in curriculum etc. Organizational autonomy is the structure and hierarchy can be defined by ourselves without interference from others. Once this is done we get autonomous system. This system is important in the present scenario.
I think that the autonomous characteristic of any given system refer to its Decision Making, exhibited by its Asynchronous Action; the system can be able to show different behavior in similar conditions.
For a system, its autonomy will not be constrained, at all, by the fact to be controlled in some aspect such as its geographic position or provided/used resources, for instance.
I salute my dear colleagues for their answers, but I think that the question is vague or diffuse because to answer it is necessary to specify the domain of this autonomous system.
@Abderrahim Benkhaled, I respectfully disagree with you. To me, the question is quite direct. It is left for you to expand the definition based on your understanding of AS. Regards, AA
Respected researchers, I am currently conducting research on "Development of an Autonomous Guided Vehicle for Offshore Environment". I need more information on the above subject for quick and effective startup. Thank you.
@ Adesuji Adedoyin, AGV is a driverless vehicle for material handling in industrial settings. I am equally on a similar research. Send me your email add. for further discussion.
Auto means self, autonomous system will simply means self driving system without any constraints for example, robotic system carrying operations without human intervention.
An autonomous system (AS), also sometimes called a routing domain, is a network, or group of networks, that is controlled by a common administrator (or group of administrators) on behalf of a business, university, ISP (Internet service provider) or other organization and that presents a common routing policy to the Internet.
the autonomous systems are a type of robot that carries out activities and fulfill objectives without navigation or human intervention. Autonomous systems are structured according to the desired autonomy level depending on the function they need to perform.
An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of connected Internet Protocol (IP) routing prefixes under the control of one or more network operators on behalf of a single administrative entity or domain that presents a common, clearly defined routing policy to the internet.
