Research Ideas - Basic Research

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