Self-Organizing Systems Literature Recommendations

Introduction

This section contains recommendations of literature by workshop participants. It is not necessarily work done by the participants, but rather the type of literature that is recommended to the other to become more versed in the topic of self-organizing systems. Books that are recommended might be likely used in the case a master of self-organizing systems will be created.

(Remove this later: For now, say every person can add 3 references to books (link to Amazon) and/or articles (link to web) that are interesting).

List

Marc Timme recommends: Complexity: Hierarchical Structures and Scaling in Physics

Anne van Rossum recommends:

Origins of communication in evolving robots. Marocco, Nolfi - Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006 - Springer. This is about grounding communication in which robots evolve neural network weights such that there speaker-microphone interactions become meaningful with respect to the fitness function of finding colored spots in an arena. It is self-organized for the reason that meaningful communication elements are not predefined but arise by interactions between the robots.
