Tyrrell, Andy M. (ed.) et al., Evolvable systems: From biology to hardware. 5th international conference, ICES 2003, Trondheim, Norway, March 17–20, 2003. Proceedings. Berlin: Springer (ISBN 3-540-00730-X/pbk). Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 2606, 141-152 (2003).
Summary: In this article, we introduce the approach to the realization of ontogenetic development and fault tolerance that will be implemented in the POEtic tissue, a novel reconfigurable digital circuit dedicated to the realization of bio-inspired systems.
The modelization in electronic hardware of the developmental process of multi-cellular biological organisms is an approach that could become extremely useful in the implementation of highly complex systems, where concepts such as self-organization and fault tolerance are key issues.
The concepts presented in this article represent an attempt at finding a useful set of mechanisms to allow the implementation in digital hardware of a bio-inspired developmental process with a reasonable overhead.
