- This foundational work presents a radically different way to build systems software, in which it is autonomously assembled from small building blocks and then continuously re-assembled at runtime to optimise the system in real-time. Published in the field’s top conference, and one of the most prestigious conferences in computer science, the paper gained wider media attention including two articles in Computer Weekly (November 2016 edition). Since publication, the paper has led to a wide range of follow-on research activity, with further multi-year funding of £250k, a PhD-level summer school with 40 participants, and 8 further publications based on the research.
