SOFTWARE: THE SELF-PROGRAMMING MACHINE Michael S. Mahoney Princeton University (To appear in Creating Modern Computing , ed. A. Akera and F. Nebeker, Oxford U.P.) The Importance of Software In May 1973 Datamation Boehm's article belongs to the larger issue of the "software crisis" and the origins of software engineering, to which I shall return presently, but for the moment it also serves to make a historiographical point. Software development has remained a labor-intensive activity, an art rather than a science. Indeed, that is what computer people have found so troublesome and some have tried to remedy. Boehm's figures show that by 1970 some three-quarters of the productive energies of the computer industry were going into software. By then at the latest, the history of computing had become the history of software. Software, then, presents a huge territory awaiting historical exploration, with only a few guideposts by which to maintain one's bearings. One guiding principle in particular seems clear: if application software is about getting the computer to do something useful in the world, systems software is about getting the computer to do the applications programming. It is the latter theme that I shall mainly pursue here. Eventually, I shall come back to applications programming by way of software engineering, but only insofar as it touches on the main theme. Programming Computers Basically, programming is a simple, logical procedure, but as the problems to be solved grow, the labor of programming also increases, and the aid of the computer is enlisted to devise its own programs. (Werner Buchholz, 1953)

27. Self-Improvement A selfimproving automatic programming system modifies parts of itself to become better at automatic programming. http://www-ia.hiof.no/~rolando/SIG

Self-Improvement A self-improving automatic programming system modifies parts of itself to become better at automatic programming. In other words, the system produces an improved system which produces another even more improved system which produces yet another improved system... A most intriguing question is how many such loops of self-improvement that can be accomplished with limited computational resources, for example a few weeks of CPU time on our 16-node Beowulf cluster. We have so far only achieved one iteration of self-improvement, which can be reproduced using the ADATE source code and a specification file for reshaping mutation distributions. Given a fitness function, an automatic programming system tries to synthesize program code that maximizes the fitness. In a primitive GP system, new code is generated using crossover and mutation operators. The code of these operators that is, their implementations, are shown as red and green blocks in the figure below. A GP system, which is quite different from ADATE, could in principle improve itself over and over again as shown in the following figure. Even if no GP system can accomplish this self-improvement, ADATE may succeed using the same principle. The topmost part of the figure shows a GP system that is fed a fitness function that evaluates the quality of crossover code, for example by computing the fitnesses of children generated from a few thousand parents selected from GP runs on about a dozen standard GP examples. Thus, the output of this GP system is code for crossover operators, typically thousands of different variants of such operators.

Home Product news received on 12 June 2002 from GD Technik Flash facilitates MCU self-programming Atmel's new family of AVR microcontrollers features a revolutionary self-programming Flash memory. Atmel's new family of AVR microcontrollers features a revolutionary self-programming Flash memory. Now available from design-in distributor GD Technik, the new micros are designed to support applications requiring remote programming or field-upgrade capability such as vending machines, telephone routers and mobile communicators. With the megaAVR the service costs for these applications will be significantly reduced because the Flash memory can be changed remotely. This new capability can be implemented with a single device, without the need of additional devices, which reduces both board space and cost. The first available members of the megaAVR family are highly integrated devices and have: from 8 to 128Kbyte of Flash program memory, EEPROM, a programmable UART, hardware multiplier, programmable brownout detector and 10bit A/D convertor. They are housed in the industry standard 32-, 44- or 64-pin TQFPs or 28- and 40-pin PDIPs.

Title: Total Recovery: A Guide to Balancing Body and Mind, Heart and Soul in Chemical Dependency Recovery Author: Jim Parker Publisher: Do It Now Foundation Publication Date: Catalog Number: Chapter 6: Self-Programming Try? There is no try. There is only do or not do. Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back All the changes we've talked about thus far have been aimed in the same direction: expanding our ability to be responsible for ourselves and our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Still, there's a further place that we can get to. Because while it's fine to accept ourselves exactly the way we are, it's even better to take responsibility for making ourselves exactly the way we want to be. So how do we change? How do we override the programs that have gotten us stuck and led us down the path of chemical abuse and dependency? This issue is one that has intrigued human beings as long as we've been human beings, and something that's likely to hold our attention a good while longer. And in generating this layer of awareness, we literally create possibility out of impossibility, which is the first step in transforming our lives. The next step is to act.

CODICO impulse 04/2000 SELF-PROGRAMMING AVR PROCESSORS! ATMEL's AVR processors are now available with self-programming! And they include other new features to make them more attractive than ever. The new ATmega163 consists of ATMEL's proven AVR core, 16-K Bytes In-system Programmable FLASH memory, 512 Bytes EEPROM, 1024 Bytes internal SRAM, an 8-channel, 10-Bit ADC and, all new, an on-chip multiplier. For all of ATMEL's currently available AVR processors that make use of the In-system programming interface, FLASH and/or EEPROM memory is programmed externally via an SPI-protocol serial interface. This is also true of the new ATmega163, but the new chip additionally offers a self-programming option, which means that it is capable of making changes to the on-chip FLASH programming code without the use of an external programmer. For this reason, the chip's program instruction memory is subdivided into a boot sector and several application sectors. During assembly, the boot program is stored in the boot sector from where it programs the other sectors. These routines are established by the user, and they determine what data source the processor draws upon to program each individual application sector. At the same time, it is also possible to make programming changes to the boot sector itself. The production of these new chips will be based on an all-new technology, and is scheduled to commence in the first half of 2001.

35. Incipient Posthuman: Self-programming You will be selfprogramming, able to define your own identity. Ido not see myself as a slave to the blind whims of evolution. http://www.incipientposthuman.com/self-programming.htm

Not only are selves conditional but they die. Each day we wake slightly altered and the person we were yesterday is dead. John Updike, Author Nearly all of us begin each day believing we are the same person who began the day before. But are we really? Or could it be true, as Updike suggests, that our daily experiences, no matter how banal, change us into someone new? Is the apparent reality of continuous personal existence merely an illusion? Is the person you were yesterday truly dead? This morning I saw something I had never seen before. (It doesn't matter what. We see new things every single day.) I learned several new things today. I spoke with a person this afternoon whom I had not previously known. Clearly I have changed, even if only slightly. I am someone different than I was the day before. So how is it that I can still believe I am me? Why am I not confused and disoriented by these changes? Questions such as these become relevant when we think about taking manifest control of our identities As a posthuman , you will be in thorough control of your personal definition, including your physical shape size appearance and location . You will be able to predefine your environment experiences , and sensations , insofar as desired. You will be self-programming, able to define your own

37. ROBOT1 A selfprogramming Autonomous Robot. by Terry Newton, November 1996.This is an ongoing project to explore simple learning algorithms http://www.tl.infi.net/~wtnewton/otherwld/robot1.html

A Self-Programming Autonomous Robot by Terry Newton, November 1996 This is an ongoing project to explore simple learning algorithms by incorporating them into a small toy "Spider" robot. Although not specifically programmed to do anything, it learns through experience to make moves and seek conditions that satisfy pre-programmed conditions. In other words, I don't tell it HOW to avoid obstacles in its path, all I tell it is that objects in its path are not desirable. It has to discover the proper solutions through trial and error then remember the correct responses. The Three Classes of Machine Intelligence Many of the ideas I'm using here come from a 1979 book entitled "How to Build Your Own Self-Programming Robot" by David L. Heiserman (TAB books number 1241). He describes three levels of machine intelligence. Taken from the book, these are: "An Alpha-Class robot is one whose responses are limited to basic reflex activity. One can include any number of sensory systems to sense light, sound, touch, and so on, but the responses are purely reflexive, and for the most part, random in nature." "A Beta-Class robot is slightly more intelligent than any Alpha-Class version. Beta robots have the same primitive reflex mechanisms, but they are also able to remember reflex responses that work best under a given set of circumstances. So whenever a Beta-Class robot manages to extricate itself via a set of random responses from an undesirable environmental condition, it remembers the one response that worked and then uses it immediately whenever the same situation arises again. The responses are purely reflexive and random the first time around, but they become more rational as the machine gains experience with the world around it."

Return to February 9, 1998 table of contents ANALOG OUTLOOK PRODUCT INNOVATION Self-Programming Microcontroller Networks Sensors And Transducers Single Chip Performs Signal Conditioning, Data Conversion, And Control Functions For Data-Acquisition Systems. Milt Leonard D esigning networked control systems with various types of sensors and transducers in space- and cost-constrained industrial control applications involves dealing with complex relationships between interface circuits, signal-conditioning and conversion circuits. In addition, one also must consider the problems associated with calibration, linearization, and communications. Equally challenging is the use of nonvolatile memory as a transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS). These issues are addressed by the IEEE 1451.2 standard that defines a standard interface and communication protocol for transducers and sensors in measurement and control systems. Existing microcontrollers fall short of fully implementing the standard in silicon, either because of limited functionality or prohibitive cost. For example, the standard transducer interface module (STIM) portion of the standard specifies the sensor interface electronics, signal conditioning, data conversion, calibration, linearization, basic communication capability, and a nonvolatile 565-byte TEDS. Some microcontrollers with integrated 8- or 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) or comparator-based slope conversion can implement most of the STIM functionality, but are limited in conversion speed and accuracy. Moreover, few available controllers have economically integrated analog conversion together with high-density EEPROM because of the additional process complexity requirements of both functions.
