Summary
Classically, programs are written with specific applications in mind. Organic computing will be based on a general architecture, which apart from libraries of standard algorithms will consist of generic mechanisms of organization. Users can then create specific applications by defining goal hierarchies, by instruction and the pointing out of examples. Systems will respond to these influences by adapting control parameters so as to direct the ontogenetic process of self-organization and by organizing sample material.
