Emergent Behavior in Modeling

Emergent Behavior in Systems of Systems

As the development of systems of systems becomes more important in global ventures, so does the issues of emergent behavior. The challenge for systems engineers is to predict and analyze emergent behavior, especially undesirable behavior, in systems of systems. In this paper we briefly discuss definitions of emergent behavior, describe a large-scale system of system that exhibits emergent behav...

Detecting Emergent Behaviors with Semi-Boolean Algebra

As aerospace and military systems become increasingly interconnected, their combined behavior can become more complex than each individual subsystem in isolation and unexpected self-organizing or emergent behaviors can result. Explicit consideration of emergent behavior has not been addressed in current systems development methodologies. This paper gives background on approaches for modeling em...

Modeling Complex Emergent Discrete Event Systems: A Case Study In Robotic Swarm Motion

Complex Emergent Discrete Event Systems (CEDES) are those where sequence of local events between simple agents or agents and their environment lead to the emergence of overall behavior following certain design goals. Such systems are proved to be robust and scaleable and therefore find many applications in real world. However they require sound mathematical models that would guarantee desired e...

Behavior Based Ai, Cognitive Processes, and Emergent Behaviors in Autonomous Agents

Behavior based AI Brooks, 1990, Maes, 1990] has questioned the need for modeling intelligent agency using generalized cognitive modules for perception and behavior generation. Behavior based AI has demonstrated successful interactions in unpredictable environments in the mobile robot domain Brooks, 1985, Brooks, 1990]. This has created a gulf between \traditional" approaches to modeling intelli...
