"AUTONOMIC COMPUTING, perhaps the most attractive approach to solving this problem, creates systems that can manage themselves when given high-level objectives from administrators. Systems manage themselves according to an administrator's goals. New components integrate as effortlessly as a new cell establishes itself in the human body. These ideas are not science fiction, but elements of the grand challenge to create self-managing computing systems." http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1160055&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1160055 View in LinkedIn

SHAPE GRAMMARS. "The role of emergence in creative design and its unique embodiment in shape grammars have been emphasized by March, Stiny, and others. Shape grammars generate emergent shapes—shapes not predefined in a grammar." https://lnkd.in/dgGXmuw View in LinkedIn

UNPREDICTABLE. "The growing emphasis on pervasive computing and MEMS requires the deployment the computation on very small devices for swarming system. The cooperation and interaction in such system inspired by biological system seem to be more and more complex and inconceivable because of highly dynamic, distributed and unpredicted features." (Bingo!). https://lnkd.in/dAR4a5C View in LinkedIn

COMPUTATIONAL EMERGENCE. "When computer scientists use the term ‘computational emergence’ they usually mean to mark some feature of a process which the software designer did not intentionally code into the algorithms which generate the process." https://lnkd.in/dPyhGnF View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT = "deducible but not reducible". Biological and psychological laws and properties are frequently said not to be reducible to physical laws and properties.” https://lnkd.in/dmJdbxk View in LinkedIn

OVERLOOKED NUISANCE. "In most practical programming contexts emergent properties are either of little interest or are a nuisance to be avoided. However, some computer scientists have proposed actively exploiting features of emergent computing in the attempt to model emergent features of the natural world." https://lnkd.in/dPyhGnF View in LinkedIn

"EMERGENT COMPUTING is both a result of the unanticipated interplay of parts of an executable object and a way of modeling the appearance of putatively emergent properties." https://lnkd.in/dPyhGnF View in LinkedIn

"ORDER IS NOT SUFFICIENT. What is required, is something much more complex. It is order entering upon novelty; so that the massiveness of order does not degenerate into mere repetition; and so that the novelty is always reflected upon a background of system." (A. N. Whitehead on “Ideal Opposites” in Process and Reality.) https://lnkd.in/dMkrh4P View in LinkedIn

NEW THINKING. "Why can't computers program themselves? Why can't there be some combination of Genetic Algorithms, Inductive Logic Programming and the vast amounts of open source code as data, that can deduce the functions of code? Based on the patterns of programming, we should be able to generate programs based on a requirement as specified by a very high level language." https://lnkd.in/d8uRh9a View in LinkedIn

PROGRAM SYNTHESIS. "There's no fundamental problem: computers totally can program themselves. Just not very well. Yet." https://lnkd.in/d8uRh9a View in LinkedIn
