👉 Survival computing is a specialized field of computer science focused on developing systems and technologies that ensure the continuous operation and functionality of critical infrastructure, even under adverse conditions or during unexpected disruptions. It involves designing resilient software and hardware that can adapt to failures, recover quickly from faults, or maintain essential services with minimal human intervention. This is particularly crucial for sectors like telecommunications, energy grids, transportation, and healthcare, where system downtime can have severe consequences. Survival computing emphasizes fault tolerance, redundancy, and self-healing mechanisms to guarantee that vital services remain operational, often employing techniques like real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated recovery protocols to sustain functionality in the face of hardware failures, software bugs, or cyber-attacks.
