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-Organizing Systems\u003c\/i\u003e will be an invaluable tool for advanced students and researchers in a wide range of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274522484887,"sku":"9781447151128","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781447151128.webp?v=1769280174","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/advances-in-applied-self-organizing-systems-9781447151128","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
