TLDR
Major challenges for organic system design arise from the conflicting requirements to have systems that are at the same time robust and adaptive, having sufficient degrees of freedom for showing self-x properties but being open for human intervention and operating with respect to appropriate rules and constraints to prevent the occurrence of undesired emergent behavior.Abstract:
Organic computing is becoming the new vision for the design of complex systems, satisfying human needs for trustworthy systems that behave life-like by adapting autonomously to dynamic changes of the environment, and have self-x properties as postulated for autonomic computing. Organic computing is a response to the threatening view of being surrounded by interacting and self-organizing systems which may become unmanageable, showing undesired emergent behavior. Major challenges for organic system design arise from the conflicting requirements to have systems that are at the same time robust and adaptive, having sufficient degrees of freedom for showing self-x properties but being open for human intervention and operating with respect to appropriate rules and constraints to prevent the occurrence of undesired emergent behavior.read more

Ana L. C. Bazzan,Franziska Klügl +1 more
TL;DR: In the present paper, the literature related to the areas of agent-based traffic modelling and simulation, and agent- based traffic control and management is reviewed.
Towards a generic observer/controller architecture for Organic Computing.
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the design of a generic system architecture which allows for self-organisation but at the same time enables adequate reactions to control the – sometimes completely unexpected – emerging global behaviour of these self- Organised technical systems.

TL;DR: A generic observer-controller architecture is proposed as a framework for designing OC systems, and it is shown how to use this architecture at the example of a traffic light controller.

TL;DR: Consider writing, perhaps the first information technology: The ability to capture a symbolic representation of spoken language for long-term storage freed information from the limits of individual memory.

Ant Colony Optimization
TL;DR: Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals as discussed by the authors In particular, ants have inspired a number of methods and techniques among which the most studied and the most successful is the general purpose optimization technique known as ant colony optimization.

TL;DR: A 2001 IBM manifesto noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet.

The computer for the 21st century
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that specialized elements of hardware and software, connected by wires, radio waves and infrared, will soon be so ubiquitous that no-one will notice their presence.
