This chapter steps back from specific self-organisational architectural solutions to consider what self-organisation means in the context of complex systems. Drawing on insights in complexity and self-organisation, the chapter explores how the natural propensity of complex systems (such as the mammalian immune system) to self-organise could be exploited as a mechanism for adaptation in complex computer architectures. Drawing on experience of immune-inspired fault-tolerant swarm robotics, the chapter speculates on how complex systems such as global information systems could adopt self-organised survivability.
