Model reproduction of non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles as a means to provide software self-development

Abstract

Abstract Further evolution of technologies in material sciences, hardware and software demands reproduction of self-organization as a manifestation of non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles in new artificial environment. This is especially actual for software engineering, where reproduction of non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles will allow enhancing speed and quality of development process. In this article we reveal, list and analyze principles to be reproduced in artificial systems to provide capabilities for self-development, self-healing and self-improvement. It is shown that self-development process is impossible without reproducing the metaphor of electric charge with its abilities for attraction and repulsion. But this metaphor is usually avoided in computer models. We propose and consider a method to reproduce the metaphor of electric charge in computer models by means of UNIX/Linux operating system tools. The obtained results provide the basis to establish an artificial physics, a new research area dedicated to adequate reproduction of principles of physics in the artificial environment of computer models.
