How do we design a self-organizing system? Is it possible to validate and control non-deterministic dynamics? What is the right balance between the emergent patterns that bring robustness, adaptability and scalability, and the traditional need for verification and validation of the outcomes?
The last several decades have seen much progress from original ideas of "emergent functionality" and "design for emergence," to sophisticated mathematical formalisms of "guided self-organization." And yet the main challenge remains, attracting the best scientific and engineering expertise to this...

This volume demonstrates the practical relevance and applicability of self-organization. It includes case studies that examine applications of self-organization, identify causes for their successes, and propose guiding principles for future developments.

Is it possible to guide the process of self-organisation towards specific patterns and outcomes? Wouldn't this be self-contradictory? After all, a self-organising process assumes a transition into a more organised form, or towards a more structured functionality, in the absence of centralised control. Then how can we place the guiding elements so that they do not override rich choices potentially discoverable by an uncontrolled process?
This book presents different approaches to resolving this paradox. In doing so, the presented studies address a broad range of...
