Ad-Hoc Definitions

Definition from Research Days'08 (1)

A selforganizing system (SOS) is a system that uses simple local rules to achieve complex global behavior. Additional precodnitions to this definition include:

  • Multiple units/entities
  • Communication among some of the entities
  • Adaptive based on external measurements/events
  • Observer
  • No hard coded solutions by the designer

Definition from Research Days'08 (2)

A self-organizing system (SOS) is a set of entities that obtains global system behavior via local interactions without centralized control.

Definition from Research Days'08 (3)

A system shows self-organizing behavior if it is autonomous, adaptive, and its organization and function is an emergent property.
