Abstract

This paper introduces the Emergent Thinker paradigm, an area-wide logical computing entity, named after a philosopher that continuously analyses information and has emergent computed solutions for new and/or existing requests. The Complex Adaptive System (CAS) emergent computation model and the CAS propagation model are proposed as mechanisms to achieve the Emergent Thinker. The Thinker is proposed as an alternative approach for new and existent design and implementation challenges in systems research. The Biologically Inspired Peer-to-Peer Distributed File System (BPD) is an instantiation of the Emergent Thinker paradigm and corroborates our hypothesis that CAS based computation is an alternative paradigm to provide scalable computation for large distributed systems.
