Organic Computing |
Organic Computing is an emerging computing paradigm which attempts to take lessons from nature (on a much grander scale than genetic algorithms). To quote one of its founders, Dr. Rolf P. Würtz, Organic Computing will form the basis for understanding the organic structure of Life on its molecular, organismic, cognitive and societal levels, and for building an organically structured information technology.
The motivation for organic computing systems is the increasing complexity of the actual systems. This complexity should be mastered with the principle of the self-organization: the system should adapt itself dynamically to the changing environment. The systems are characterized by the self-X properties:
