The term autonomic, like the term autonomous, comes from robotics and human related sciences.

Autonomic management: Acting involuntary (on reflex) according to some predefined policies in order to keep the system up and running within its limits.
Autonomic (in general): (a) acting or occurring involuntarily (reflexes) and (b) relating to, affecting, or controlled by the autonomic nervous system or its effects or activity (http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autonomic).

Autonomic management is sometimes used to refer to the set of management activities that take place in Autonomic Networks or Autonomic Systems.
It also sometimes refers to all algorithms that automate management and/or control functions of traditional networks in such a way that they become more autonomic

Compared to autonomous networks, autonomic networks are less intelligent and require a management interface.

autonomous: (a) having the right of power of self-government; (b) responding, reacting, or developing independently of the whole (http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autonmous).
