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
• Synchronization

Research Ideas - Applied/Technology Research

• Security in sensor networks
  • Intrusion detection
• SO routing/topology control
  • Internet, mesh networks
  • Overlay networks
• Traffic systems
  • Car-to-car communication (preventing traffic jam waves)
  • SO Traffic lights
  • Train/airtraffic scheduling
• SO (distributed) coverage of rescue/police agents (related to desynchronization)
• Distributed provisioning/resource allocation
  • Energy
  • Warehouses / supply chain management
• SO (open source) software development
• Matlab (Scilab) toolbox for modeling SOS
