Reflex Reaction

Like the autonomic responses in the human body, autonomic computing systems recognize their own health problems and, where possible, respond to correct them. Failing that, external help is required. The purpose of this paper is to consider how autonomic systems might be structured to facilitate health monitoring. The approach uses a ‘pulse’ monitor for each autonomic element, which provides a reflex reaction facility and basic information on the current state (health) of that element. The pulse mechanism extends the NASA beacon monitor concept. The different ways that pulse information might be communicated and used are examined. The discussion is illustrated with a personal computing example.

Basic Level

The chapter analyzes the ways of development of high-performance computing systems. It is shown that a real breakthrough in mastering parallel computing technologies can be achieved by developing an additional (actually basic) level in the hierarchy of hardware capacities of multiprocessor computing systems of MPP-architecture, the personal computing clusters. Thus, it is proposed to create the foundation of the hardware pyramid of parallel computing technology in the form of personal computing clusters. It is shown that on the basis of multiprocessor information systems processing and control, the control systems are implemented for many industries: space industry, aviation, air defense and anti-missile defense systems, and many others. However, the production of multiprocessor information processing and control systems is hampered by high cost at all its stages. As a result, the total cost of the system often makes it as an inaccessible tool. The use of modern multiprocessor cluster systems would reduce the costs of its production.

This chapter examines how AI was embedded in a range of software applications from the late 1970s to the 1990s—a period marked by the emergence of personal computing. Focusing on diverse software artifacts such as computer daemons, digital games, and social interfaces, the chapter interrogates the ways developers introduced deceptive mechanisms within a wider framework promising universal access and ease of use for computing technologies, and how their doing so informed work that was aimed at improving the usability of computing systems. Their explorations of this territory involved a crucial shift away from considering deception something that could be dispelled by making computers more “transparent” and toward the full integration of forms of deception in the experiences of users interacting with AI.

In the last few years a computing revolution has been started. We have arrived at a point where an individual can have access to apersonalcomputer that has real advantages over larger minicomputers and mainframes for a number of significant applications. When the further step is taken of providing a communications link between that personal computer and those larger systems, the overall result is a combination of capabilities of unprecedented potential.As in any revolution, there have been problems and mistakes along the path. Indeed there are still shortcomings and hazards to be avoided. Nonetheless, there are personal computing systems available which offer many advantages for a wide spectrum of academic and professional people. This document is intended as an overview of what is currently marketed, providing reference points for the interested individual.
