Evolvable Hardware, a Fundamental Technology for Homeostasis

Maintaining electronic systems in a steady (homeo-static) state of operation so that they perform their tasks when under stress is non-trivial. In order to achieve this we propose an extensible architecture, inspired by the natural immune system. We believe that evolvable and adaptive hardware is a critical underlying technology for homeostasis, and maintenance of homeostasis in electronic systems will be one of the application where evolvable hardware could make a significant impact
