The writing of this paper has been inspired by the motivating ideas of
\nincorporating self-awareness into systems that have been studied by
\nProf Cheung in connection to dealing with variability and ageing in
\nnano-scale electronics. We attempt here to exploit the opportunities for
\nmaking systems self-aware, and taking it further, see them in a
\nbiological perspective of survival under harsh operating conditions.
\nSurvivability is developed here in the context of the availability of
\nenergy and power, where the notion of power-modulation will navigate
\nus towards the incorporation into system design of the mechanisms
\nanalogous to instincts in human brain. These mechanisms are
\nconsidered here through a set of novel techniques for reference-free
\nsensing and elastic memory for data retention. This is only a beginning
\nin the exploration of system design for survival, and many other
\ndevelopments such as design of self-aware communication fabric are
\nfurther on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
