Self-Organizing and Autonomous Learning Agents and Systems

Abstract : During the period of 9/1/2003 through 8/31/2004 we have developed solutions for two critical problems faced by self-reconfigurable systems: (1) Autonomous discovery and response to unexpected topology changes; (2) A new distributed functional language called DH2 for programming of self-reconfigurable systems using hormone-inspired computational methods. These results are published by Dr Wei-Min Shen and his students Behnam Salemi, Maks Krivokon, and Michael Rubenstein.
