BUILDING COMPUTER IMMUNE SYSTEMS
- Define health!
- Expert system like immune cells (cfengine language and robot)
- Algorithms for automating convergence (no auto-immune disease)
- Each host is responsible for its own health (no central control)
- Cooperation between hosts to capture social element
In a network, just as in biology, it makes sense to have
a social order in networks of machines. Cfengine can define
the proper state of health for every machine in a network.
Its expert system is like the medical records of every
person in a town, taking into account the special needs of
each individual, but maintaining the general level of health.
