Abstract

Disclosed is a system comprising: —a reconfigurable hardware platform; —a plurality of hardware units defined as cells adapted to be programmed to provide self-organization and self-maintenance of the system by means of implementing a program expressed in a programming language defined as DNA language, where each cell is adapted to communicate with one or more other cells in the system, and where the system further comprises a converter program adapted to convert keywords from the DNA language to a binary DNA code; where the self-organization comprises that the DNA code is transmitted to one or more of the cells, and each of the one or more cells is adapted to determine its function in the system; where if a fault occurs in a first cell and the first cell ceases to perform its function, self-maintenance is performed by that the system transmits information to the cells that the first cell has ceased to perform its function, and then the self-organization is performed again in order to provide that a second cell undertakes the function of the first cell.
