A Quantification Approach for Transferability in Lifelike Computing Systems
share
The basic idea of lifelike computing systems is the transfer of concepts in living systems to technical use that goes even beyond existing concepts of self-adaptation and self-organisation (SASO). As a result, these systems become even more autonomous and changeable - up to a runtime transfer of the actual target function. Maintaining controllability requires a complete and dynamic (self-)quantification of the system behaviour with regard to aspects of SASO but also, in particular, lifelike properties. In this article, we discuss possible approaches for such metrics and establish a first metric for transferability. We analyse the behaviour of the metric using example applications and show that it is suitable for describing the system's behaviour at runtime.
