Hebbian cell assemblies have been proposed as a model for cortical processing able to bridge between physiology and psychology. Assembly-based theories focused mainly on represent...
The crucial strength of the component paradigm lies in the possibility to encapsulate behaviours. In this work, we focus on the observable behaviour of composite components which ...
Ecological theories often explain the behaviour of communities in terms of the underlying interactions that take place between the species that are part of the community. This clos...
Embryogenic evolution emulates in silico cell-like entities to get more powerful methods for complex evolutionary tasks. As simulations have to from the biological model, implicit ...
The design of complex systems, e.g., telecom services, is nowadays usually based on the integration of components (COTS), loosely coupled in distributed architectures. When compon...
