Research Ideas - Basic Research

• Building blocks for designing (robust) SOS
  • Modeling
  • Interaction models
  • Design methods
  • Taxonomy of measures/methods/faults
  • What makes (biological, social, engineered, ...) SOS robust
• Error removal in robust self-organizing systems
  • (Topology) reconfiguration to overcome error propagation/malicious attacks
• Testing and validation of (robust) SOS
• Robust software/system architectures
  • SO software objects
• Self-organizing Systems of Systems (SOSOS)
• Security and SOS
  • Researching the tradeoffs of robustness/effort
  • Co-evolving a robust and an attacking SOS
• Desynchronization and distributed coverage
  • Spreading out in time and space
• ANN / SANN
  • Reconfiguration
