David Hales

David Hales



David Hales’ research interests include developing approaches for growing reliable, decentralized systems – specifically peer-to-peer systems. The aim is to produce self-configuring, self-repairing and self-organising societies of peer nodes that execute on user machines. I want to harness desirable emergent properties of massive (millions of nodes) systems under conditions of high flux with nodes constantly entering and leaving the system, and possibly behaving maliciously. In these kinds of “anarchic environments” system behaviour needs to emerge “bottom-up” from the behaviour of individuals following their own rules. Imposition of central control is not an option and we can’t rely solely on the “hidden hands” of classical economic theory. So a synthesis is required between new kinds of social theory applicable to the artificial domain and distributed self-organising systems programming. Such a synthesis could transform, not just technology but, human societies in profound ways.
