Self-aware Computing Systems An Engineering Approach

Taking inspiration from self-awareness in humans, this book introduces the new notion of computational self-awareness as a fundamental concept for designing and operating computing systems. The basic ability of such self-aware computing systems is to coll

Foreword

This book considers the design of new computation systems that are in some ways more responsive to the environment and their own state than current system designs and aim to be more reliable through the creation of self-aware and self-expressive systems. One of the driving forces of this work is the realisation of the growth in syste
