How do we design a self-organizing system? Is it possible to
validate and control non-deterministic dynamics? What is the right
balance between the emergent patterns that bring robustness,
adaptability and scalability, and the traditional need for
verification and validation of the outcomes? The last several
decades have seen much progress from original ideas of "emergent
functionality" and "design for emergence", to sophisticated
mathematical formalisms of "guided self-organization". And yet the
main challenge remains, attracting the best scientific and
engineering expertise to this elusive problem. This book presents
state-of-the-practice of successfully engineered self-organizing
systems, and examines ways to balance design and self-organization
in the context of applications. As demonstrated in this second
edition of Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems, finding
this balance helps to deal with practical challenges as diverse as
navigation of microscopic robots within blood vessels,
self-monitoring aerospace vehicles, collective and modular robotics
adapted for autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance,
self-managing grids and multiprocessor scheduling, data
visualization and self-modifying digital and analog circuitry,
intrusion detection in computer networks, reconstruction of
hydro-physical fields, traffic management, immunocomputing and
nature-inspired computation. Many algorithms proposed and discussed
in this volume are biologically inspired, and the reader will also
gain an insight into cellular automata, genetic algorithms,
artificial immune systems, snake-like locomotion, ant foraging,
birds flocking, neuromorphic circuits, amongst others.
Demonstrating the practical relevance and applicability of
self-organization, Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems will
be an invaluable tool for advanced students and researchers in a
wide range of fields.
