As information handling systems get more and more complex, it
becomes increasingly difficult to manage them using traditional
approaches based on centralized and pre-defined control mechanisms.
Over recent years, there has been a significant increase in taking
inspiration from biology, the physical world, chemistry, and social
systems to more efficiently manage such systems - generally based
on the concept of self-organisation; this gave rise to
self-organising applications.
This book constitutes a reference and starting point for
establishing the field of engineering self-organising applications.
It comprises revised and extended papers presented at the
Engineering Self-Organising Applications Workshop, ESOA 2003, held
at AAMAS 2003 in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2003 and selected
invited papers from leading researchers in self-organisation. The
book is organized in parts on applications, natural metaphors
(multi-cells and genetic algorithms, stigmergy, and atoms and
evolution), artificial interaction mechanisms, middleware, and
methods and tools.
