On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملScaling Laws in Evolution of Large Computer Programs
An approach based on a paradigm of self-organized criticality is proposed for experimental investigation and theoretical modelling of software evolution. The dynamics of modiˇcations is studied for three free open source programs Mozilla, Free-BSD and Emacs using the data from version control systems. Scaling laws typical of self-organization criticality are found. The model of software evoluti...

An approach based on the paradigm of self-organized criticality is proposed for experimental investigation and theoretical modeling of software evolution. The dynamics of modifications is studied for three free, open source programs MOZILLA, FREE-BSD, and EMACS using the data from version control systems. Scaling laws typical for self-organized criticality found. A model of software evolution p...
متن کاملHow self-organization can guide evolution
Self-organization and natural selection are fundamental forces that shape the natural world. Substantial progress in understanding how these forces interact has been made through the study of abstract models. Further progress may be made by identifying a model system in which the interaction between self-organization and selection can be investigated empirically. To this end, we investigate how...
متن کاملBuilt to evolve
We study the probabilities of evolution based on random mutations and natural selection. We conclude that evolution to multicellular eukaryots, or even prokaryots, is unlikely to be the result of only random mutations. Complex organisms have evolved through several mechanisms besides random mutations, namely DNA recombination, adaptive mutations, and acquisition of foreign DNA. We conclude that...
