Autonomic and apoptopic systems in computing, robotics, and security

摘要

Autonomic computing, robotics, and security devices, systems, and methods are provided. Agents of the system can communicate with one another and can self-destruct under event conditions that would render the agent detrimental to the overall system.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-accessible medium in a first autonomic computing device, the computer-accessible medium having executable instructions of autonomic communication, the executable instructions capable of directing a processor of the first autonomic computing device to perform:
receiving a quiesce instruction from a second autonomic computing device; and invoking a function of a quiesce component of the first autonomic computing device, wherein the function of the quiesce component comprises deactivating the first autonomic computing device, and then, if the first autonomic computing device does not receive a stay-alive reprieve signal after a predetermined period of time, the first autonomic computing device self-destructs.
