Self-Regenerative Systems (SRS)

Program Manager: Mr. Lee Badger

Goals:

To achieve the SRS program goals, the program will address four key technology areas:
  1. Biologically-Inspired Diversity,
  2. Cognitive Immunity and Regeneration,
  3. Granular, Scalable Redundancy, and
  4. Reasoning About Insider Threats.
The SRS program defines quantitative goals for each of these areas:

Biologically-Inspired Diversity: Metric - automatically produce 100 diverse but functionally equivalent versions of a software component such that no more than thirty-three versions of a component share the same deficiency.

Cognitive Immunity and Regeneration: Metric - accurately diagnose 10% of the root causes of system problems and take effective corrective action in half of those diagnoses.

Granular, Scalable Redundancy: Metric - attain a three-fold reduction in latency for achieving consistency of replicated data while tolerating up to five Byzantine failures in a centralized server setting and attain a fifteen-fold reduction in latency for achieving consistent values of data shared among from one hundred to ten thousand participants using epidemic algorithms, where all participants can send and receive events.

Reasoning About Insider Threats: Metric - thwart or delay 10% of insider attacker goals.
