Bye Bye Blue Screen of Death!!!

Scientist at the University of London (UCL) are waving bye bye to the "Blue Screen of Death". Thanks to UCL's computer scientist, Peter Brentley and Christos Sakellariou who have created a computer that repairs itself when it finds fault. The technology works by executing programs and instructions simultaneously unlike today's computer which fetch instructions and then executes programs or commands.  For example, it links the temperature outside with what to do if it's too hot. It then divides the results up into pools of digital entities called "systems". (Marks)

This systemic computer process allows the computer to detect chaos within and essentially repair itself. This is also because each system contains multiple copies of it's instructions, so in the event that one becomes corrupted it will access one of the copies and make the needed repairs.  Due to the context-sensitive data located in the system memory these computers are only able to interact with similar systems.
