Design Patterns for SOS?
- The idea of reuse existing, proven solutions seems to be interesting, but...
- Focus on mechanisms that cause systems to be SOS
- Use a pattern at design time, so that a SOS runtime behaviour shows up
- The usage of design patterns depends on the nature of the desired system
- Categorize types of SOS and assign possible design patterns, which are useful for which type
- Checklist seems currently to be more appropriate, we know what is necessary to get SOS
- Checklist for basic properties of SOS: Adaptivity, Emergence, Autonomy, Decentralisation, Cognition, Feedback, Multiple intercations
- Runtime effects to show up: spatial temporal structures, multiple stability, parameter bifurcation
Design Patterns
- Achitectural patterns
- Observer-Controller Architecture (Organic Computing)
- MAPE (Monitor, Analyze, Process, Execute) Cycle (IBM Autonomic Computing)
- Patterns for (interaction) mechanisms
- Artificial Hormone System (moving/placing resources/load balancing)
- Ant foraging (reliably find shortest routes)
- Pulse-coupled oscillators
- Plain diffusion, replication, chemotaxis, and stigmergy, …
- Patterns of coordination
- Stigmergy
- Using a shared medium/memory for aggregation
- Decoupled coordination and communication style
- Links exist to distributed system's work on "Virtual Shared Memory", Tuple Spaces, Blackboard approaches
- Examples: Ant systems, Wikipedia, etc.
- "Local Gradient"
- Agents perceive relation to other agents, aggregate relations, communicate their information, and adapt their actions
- Highly dynamic (dependent on agent availability, location, time), real-time
- Examples: Swarms and packs (coordinated flight of bird swarms, hunting behaviour of packs, etc.)
- Combine positive/negative feedback w. balance, evolution
- Including approaches for stopping / re-starting evolution process
- Stigmergy
- Control Theory -> Feedback loop
- Coupling between local interactions and global behaviour
Related Work on Design Patterns
In software engineering: a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations [1]
