Autonomic and apoptotic, aeronautical and aerospace systems, and controlling scientific data generated therefrom

摘要

A self-managing system that uses autonomy and autonomicity is provided with the self-* property of autopoiesis (self-creation). In the event of an agent in the system self-destructing, autopoiesis auto-generates a replacement. A self-esteem reward scheme is also provided and can be used for autonomic agents, based on their performance and trust. Art agent with greater self-esteem may clone at a greater rate compared to the rate of an agent with lower self-esteem. A self-managing system is provided for a high volume of distributed autonomic/self-managing mobile agents, and autonomic adhesion is used to attract similar agents together or to repel dissimilar agents from an event horizon. An apoptotic system is also provided that accords an “expiry date” to data and digital objects, for example, that are available on the internet, which finds usefulness not only in general but also for controlling the loaning and use of space scientific data.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-accessible medium in a first autonomic element, the computer-accessible medium having executable instructions of autonomic communication for directing a processor of the first autonomic element to perform: receiving a autopoiesis instruction from a second autonomic element; and invoking a function of an autopoiesis component of the first autonomic element, and then, if the first autonomic element does not receive a do-not-auto-generate reprieve signal after a predetermined period of time, the first autonomic element undergoes autopoiesis.
