A General Methodology for Designing Self-Organizing Systems

 

by

Carlos Gershenson

(ECCO)

Place: room 3C204 (building C, 3rd floor), VUB campus Oefenplein

Time: Friday, June 17, at 17:30 h.

Abstract:

I will present a conceptual framework for speaking about self-organizing systems. The aim is to provide a methodology useful for designing and controlling systems developed to solve complex problems. The ideas that will be presented are general enough to be useful in a wide variety of areas, where solutions to problems cannot be foreseen or unpredicted changes require a constant adaptation of the system. In other words, the proposed methodology assists the engineering of systems that need to find solutions by themselves.

ECCO seminar programme coming weeks

24 Jun: Tom Erez: Postext: a cognitively-apt formalism for knowledge management

ECCO seminars normally take place each Friday at 17h30 in room 3C204 of the VUB Campus Etterbeek. Everyone interested is welcome. The seminars are very interactive, with small groups (about 8-10 people). The intention is to discuss in depth the research being proposed, and to look for interdisciplinary connections with other ECCO-related themes. Seminars last about two hours, after which the remaining participants go to take a drink or a snack in the Opinio Café on the campus, to continue the discussion in a more relaxed setting.
