%X Since the invention of the light bulb, artificial light is
   accompanying
people all around the world every day and
   night. As the light bulb
itself evolved a lot through years,
   light control systems are still
switch\-based and require
   users to make most of the decisions about its
behaviour.
   This paper presents an algorithm for emergent behaviour in
   a
lighting system to achieve stable, user defined light
   level, while
saving energy. The algorithm employs a parallel
   design and was tested
using JCSP.
