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.
