Design, Modeling and Optimization of Stochastic Reactive Distributed Robotic Systems

Grégory Mermoud

This dissertation describes a complete methodological framework for designing, modeling and optimizing a specific class of distributed systems whose dynamics result from the multiple, stochastic interactions of their constitutive components. These componen ...

Using an adaptive gene network model for self-organizing multicellular behavior

Ali H. Sayed

Using the transient interleukin (IL)-2 secretion of effector T helper (Teff) cells as an example, we show that self-organizing multicellular behavior can be modeled and predicted by an adaptive gene network model. Incorporating an adaptation algorithm we e ...

Ultrafast (Bio)physical and (Bio)chemical Dynamics

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Renske Marjan van der Veen, Cristina Consani, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

We give an overview of our recent work on ultrafast dynamics of chemical (organic dyes, metal-complexes, colloidal quantum dots), and biological (retinal and haem proteins) systems in the liquid phase, studied with a variety of ultrafast optical techniques ...

Modeling Self-Assembly Across Scales: The Unifying Perspective of Smart Minimal Particles

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud

A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous functional systems. At the same time, a large body of robotic research called swarm ...

A Unified Framework for Location Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Reza Shokri

We introduce a novel framework that provides a logical structure for classifying and organizing fundamental components and concepts of location privacy. Our framework models mobile networks and applications, threats, location-privacy preserving mechanisms, ...

Bio-inspired self-organizing cellular systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspiration borrows three properties characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these properties, our self-organizing systems are able to grow, to ...

Self-Assembly at the Macroscopic Scale

Roderich Gross

In this paper, we review half a century of research on the design of systems displaying (physical) self-assembly of macroscopic components. We report on the experience gained in the design of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mech ...
