Self-organization of Bio-inspired Integrated Circuits

Joël Rossier

Self-organizing circuits are able to grow, to self-replicate, and to self-repair. These properties are implemented in hardware thanks to configuration, cloning and cicatrization mechanisms. They are realized by the control layer of the POEtic tissue, a dat ...

Self-replication of complex digital circuits in programmable logic devices

Joël Rossier

Nature is an incredibly complex system resulting from the interactions of many different interdependent species, composed of many individual organisms, which are in turn composed of an extremely large number of cells. In multi-cellular organisms, the paral ...

Fifty years of self-assembly experimentation

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 study of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mecha ...

Design of Self-organizing Bio-inspired Systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier

Self-organizing bio-inspired systems borrow three structural principles characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, our cellular syst ...

Simulation modelling of ecological hierarchies in constructive dynamical systems

François Gillet

Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful epistemological framework to describe such systems by decomposing them ve ...

Business-IT Alignment with SEAM for Enterprise Architecture

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Lam Son Lê, Irina Rychkova, José Diego de la Cruz Garcia

To align an IT system with an organization’s needs, it is necessary to understand the organization’s position within its environment a well as its internals. In SEAM for Enterprise Architecture the organization is considered as a hierarchy of systems that ...

Early Requirements and Business-IT Alignment with SEAM for Business

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Irina Rychkova

The early requirements of an IT system should be aligned with the organization’s business imperatives. To understand these imperatives it is necessary to understand the organization’s position within its environment. SEAM for Business is a method designed ...

Engineering limit cycle systems

Jonas Buchli

In this thesis, we present a dynamical systems approach to adaptive controllers for locomotion control. The approach is based on a rigorous mathematical framework using nonlinear dynamical systems and is inspired by theories of self-organization. Nonlinear ...

Bio-inspired Systems with Self-developing Mechanisms

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspired systems borrow three structural principles characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, our cellular systems are endowed ...

Simple models of distributed co-ordination

Frédéric Kaplan

Distributed co-ordination is the result of dynamical processes enabling independent agents to coordinate their actions without the need of a central co-ordinator. In the past few years, several computational models have illustrated the role played by such ...
