I have\u00a0recently talked about developing\u00a0survival instincts in computing systems. This opens up an interesting paradigm for designing autonomous systems for applications that require them to be\u00a0on earth, underwater and in space.\u00a0The conditions for operation of such systems are often harsh, unpredictable and\u00a0it seems most natural to look for analogies\u00a0to envisage the ways of their design in the nature, in\u00a0animals and humans, particularly looking at the nervous systems. Another important pathway to such systems would be to look how energy affects their behaviour and how power levels activate various layers of instinct mechanisms …<\/p>\n
These were the\u00a0ideas that I discussed in my keynote talk at\u00a0NoCArc’12 in Vancouver\u00a0\u00a0(http:\/\/www.unikore.it\/nocarc\/index.html<\/a>).<\/p>\n Here are the slides http:\/\/www.unikore.it\/nocarc\/slides\/yakovlev.pdfand<\/a> and video http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lgcugX44EIg&feature=youtu.befrom<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have\u00a0recently talked about developing\u00a0survival instincts in computing systems.
