There is some research being done on this at another university. In the end, it just boils done to have a lots of redundancy. Unfortunately, we don't have high redundancy in our typical use of computers. One program, one process, one bit of data on the drive.
My BIGGEST complaint against most complex systems work is that compared to the natural systems we try to analogize, our artificial systems are like the environment of a astroid in deep space.
The body is full of SOOO many cells, so many connections, so many transmissions, so much information, it's not surprising to me that we have yet to see our own artificial systems produce many of the properties we attribute to complex adaptive systems. And it's not surprising that we have trouble applying the analogies fully or entireley successfully.
