Group members

  • Christian Bettstetter
  • Hermann de Meer
  • Johannes Klinglmayr
  • Martina Umlauft

Challenges

  • Design of emergence:
    • How to design local rules achieving the desired global properties?
    • Communication pattern
    • Non-trivial but approaches exist.
  • Design of communication
  • Simple versus chaotic behavior: Can we describe the system state?
    • The state of some self-organizing systems can be easily modeled (firefly sync)
    • The state of other self-organizing systems cannot be modeled, they exhibit chaotic behavior, which makes it impossible to predict future states.


  • Malicious nodes, faults, defects
  • Rare events may lead to major global effects. Repeatability of results
  • Testing:
      • It can be very difficult to test a proposed self-organizing system with respect to a given goal (many entities, large operational range, chaotic behavior)

Ideas

  • "Immune system" as an umbrella around self-organizing system
  • Optimize probability to end up in desired state

Side note

  • Heylighen: "interaction pattern are not specified"
