Is it possible to validate and control non-deterministic dynamics? What is the right balance between the emergent patterns that bring robustness, adaptability and scalability, and the traditional need for verification and validation of the outcomes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last several decades have seen much progress from original ideas of “emergent functionality” and “design for emergence”, to sophisticated mathematical formalisms of “guided self-organization”. And yet the main challenge remains, attracting the best scientific and engineering expertise to this elusive problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents state-of-the-practice of successfully engineered self-organizing systems, and examines ways to balance design and self-organization in the context of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs demonstrated in this second edition of \u003ci\u003eAdvances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems\u003c\/i\u003e, finding this balance helps to deal with practical challenges as diverse as navigation of microscopic robots within blood vessels, self-monitoring aerospace vehicles, collective and modular robotics adapted for autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance, self-managing grids and multiprocessor scheduling, data visualization and self-modifying digital and analog circuitry, intrusion detection in computer networks, reconstruction of hydro-physical fields, traffic management, immunocomputing and nature-inspired computation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany algorithms proposed and discussed in this volume are biologically inspired, and the reader will also gain an insight into cellular automata, genetic algorithms, artificial immune systems, snake-like locomotion, ant foraging, birds flocking, neuromorphic circuits, amongst others. Demonstrating the practical relevance and applicability of self-organization, \u003ci\u003eAdvances in Applied Self-OrganizingSystems\u003c\/i\u003e will be an invaluable tool for advanced students and researchers in a wide range of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-05-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447151128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-5113-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 426\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379123445900,"sku":"9781447151128","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447151128.jpg?v=1775730785","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447151128","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
