A Catalog of Biologically-Inspired Primitives for Engineering Self-Organization
نویسنده
چکیده
The Amorphous Computing project is aimed at developing programming methodologies for systems composed of vast numbers of locallyinteracting, identically-programmed agents. This paper presents some of the building blocks for robust collective behavior that have emerged as part of this effort, and describes how organizing principles from multi-cellular organisms may apply to multi-agent systems.

A Pattern-Based Architectural Style for Self-Organizing Software Systems
We present an architectural style for selforganizing software systems, which leverages a catalog of design patterns for self-organization. The catalog, which represent our prior work, defines a number of bio-inspired selforganization mechanism as design patterns, and shows how more abstract and complex forms of self-organization can be composed from simpler, lower-level mechanisms. We now discu...
متن کاملA Goal-Orientation Framework for Self-Organizing Control
Self-organization, especially in the framework of embodiment in biologically inspired robots, allows the acquisition of behavioral primitives by autonomous robots themselves. However, it is an open question how self-organization of basic motor primitives and goalorientation can be combined, which is a prerequisite for the usefulness of such systems. In the paper at hand we propose a goal-orient...
متن کاملChemotaxis-Inspired Cellular Primitives for Self-Organizing Shape Formation
Motivated by the ability of living cells to form specific shapes and structures, we are investigating chemotaxis-inspired cellular primitives for self-organizing shape formation. This chapter details our initial effort to createMorphogenetic Primitives (MPs), software agents that may be programmed to self-organize into userspecified 2D shapes. The interactions of MPs are inspired by chemotaxis-...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Four Elements Compact Antenna Arrays With Enhanced Sensitivity for Direction of Arrival Estimation
A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...
