SELF-AWARE AND SELF-HEALING COMPUTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- organizing a plurality of microstates of a plurality of components of a computing system into a plurality of macrostates of the computing system, wherein each microstate represents a state that a component of the computing system is able to individually enter, and wherein each macrostate represents a state that the computing system is able to enter as a whole,wherein the macrostates are organized into attractors, each attractor being a stable state in which the computing system is stable, and wherein the method further comprises constructing an attractor separation map indicating how the attractors are separated from one another by a plurality of hamming distances, each hamming distance being a number of bits that differ between two attractors.

Abstract
A method and a computing system for performing the method. At least two microstates of at least two components of a computing system are organized into at least two macrostates of the computing system. Each microstate represents a state that a component of the computing system is able to individually enter. Each macrostate represents a state that the computing system is able to enter as a whole. The macrostates are organized into attractors. Each attractor is a stable state in which the computing system is stable. An attractor separation map is constructed. The attractor separation map indicates how the attractors are separated from one another by at least two hamming distances. Each hamming distance is a number of bits that differ between two attractors.
