Develop Conscious System Management

Create systems engineering approaches that enable systems to be conscious of their own operation and make intelligent decisions about their configuration and behavior. Conscious systems would monitor their own performance, understand their purpose and goals, and make decisions about how to optimize their operation based on their understanding of their role and environment. The challenge involves creating systems with sufficient complexity to support consciousness, developing system awareness and decision-making capabilities, and ensuring that conscious systems make good decisions about their own operation. Applications include infrastructure systems that understand and optimize their own performance, manufacturing systems that make intelligent decisions about their operation, and transportation systems that actively manage themselves for optimal service. Success would create systems that participate actively in their own management, enable systems that understand and optimize their own purpose, and provide models for conscious technological systems across all engineering domains.
