%X Recent advances in computing systems have led to a new digital era in which every area of life is nearlyinterrelated with information technology. However, with the trend towards large-scale IT systems, a newchallenge has emerged. The complexity of IT systems is becoming an obstacle that hampers themanageability, operability, and maintainability of modern computing infrastructures. Autonomiccomputing popped up to provide an answer to these ever-growing pitfalls. Fundamentally, autonomicsystems are self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-protecting; hence, they can automate allcomplex IT processes without human intervention. This paper proposes an autonomic HTML web-interfacegenerator based on XML Schema and Style Sheet specifications for self-configuring graphical userinterfaces of web applications. The goal of this autonomic generator is to automate the process ofcustomizing GUI web-interfaces according to the ever-changing business rules, policies, and operatingenvironment with the least IT labor involvement. The conducted experiments showed a successfulautomation of web interfaces customization that dynamically self-adapts to keep with the always-changingbusiness requirements. Future research can improve upon the proposed solution so that it supports the selfconfiguringof not only web applications but also desktop applications.
