Self-replication of complex digital circuits in programmable logic devices

Joël Rossier

Nature is an incredibly complex system resulting from the interactions of many different interdependent species, composed of many individual organisms, which are in turn composed of an extremely large number of cells. In multi-cellular organisms, the paral ...

Bio-inspired self-organizing cellular systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspiration borrows three properties characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these properties, our self-organizing systems are able to grow, to ...

Security in distributed metadata catalogues

Nuno Filipe de Sousa Santos

Catalogue services provide the discovery and location mechanisms that allow users and applications to locate data on Grids. Replication is a highly desirable feature in these services, since it provides the scalability and reliability required on large dat ...

Self-organization of Bio-inspired Integrated Circuits

Joël Rossier

Self-organizing circuits are able to grow, to self-replicate, and to self-repair. These properties are implemented in hardware thanks to configuration, cloning and cicatrization mechanisms. They are realized by the control layer of the POEtic tissue, a dat ...

Self-replicating hardware for reliability: The embryonics project

Daniel Mange, Pierre-André Mudry, Joël Rossier

The multicellular structure of biological organisms and the interpretation in each of their cells of a chemical program (the DNA string or genome) is the source of inspiration for the Embryonics (embryonic electronics) project, whose final objective is the ...

Language Evolution as a Darwinian Process: Computational Studies

Frédéric Kaplan

This paper presents computational experiments that illustrate how one can precisely conceptualize language evolution as a Darwinian process. We show that there is potentially a wide diversity of replicating units and replication mechanisms involved in lang ...
