An Autonomous Software System is a software system that performs system tasks through independent operations and self-directed decision making without requiring continuous external control.
- Context:
- It can (typically) make System Decisions through automated reasoning.
- It can (typically) execute System Actions without human intervention.
- It can (typically) monitor its System State through self-observation.
- It can (often) adapt its System Behavior based on environmental feedback.
- It can (often) handle System Errors through automatic recovery.
- It can (often) optimize its System Performance via self-adjustment.

- It can range from being a Simple Autonomous System to being a Complex Autonomous System, depending on its system complexity.
- It can range from being a Rule-Based Autonomous System to being a Learning Autonomous System, depending on its decision mechanism.
- It can range from being a Domain-Specific Autonomous System to being a General-Purpose Autonomous System, depending on its application scope.
- It can range from being a Supervised Autonomous System to being an Unsupervised Autonomous System, depending on its autonomy level.
- It can range from being a Single-Task Autonomous System to being a Multi-Task Autonomous System, depending on its task capability.
- It can range from being a Traditional Autonomous System to being an AI-Enhanced Autonomous System, depending on its intelligence capability.
- It can range from being a Single-Model Autonomous System to being a Multi-Model Autonomous System, depending on its AI model integration.
