Source: http://cumincad.architexturez.net/system/files/pdf/cb42.content.pdf describes the work of students “Artificial life”, is the study of algorithms that try to explain the patterns and structure that we observe in the world, as the emergent properties of parallel behaviours of autonomous processes, which are very simple. The complexity happens because of the interactions between the processes” pg 652 “The..

“Abstract. In this paper we describe a new product written to simplify the construction of Agent based simulations called Visual Swarm Builder. VSB is an integrated environment for the design and realization of simulations using Swarm libraries, based on menu-driven and graphic selections of objects like graphs, ‘standard agents’, etc. This paper is divided into..

“Traditional vernacular building is accomplished by executing the process. There are no intermediate phases like a set of drawings, working drawings, drawings of details. The communication is direct from person to person. … Exact measurements and other relevant numeric details are decided along the process of building. The end result is unpredictable in detail, but..

“Information technology gave us the platform to communicate with other disciplines. Working together in a data-driven process of collaborative design and collaborative engineering the stakeholders behave like birds in a swarm. They are like free particles, dynamically socializing in the Hive, exchanging information in the flow, developing a hive mind. They are the Swarm. All..

“An autonomous agent must be an autocatalytic system able to reproduce and able to perform one or more thermodynamic work cycles.” pg 49 “One might be mistaken in saying that a chair is in the room, but one could hardly be mistaken in reporting bits and pieces of one’s own awareness. For example ‘I am..

“The context and long term goal of the project is to develop design environments in which the computer becomes an active and creative partner in the design process. To try to set-up a system that would enhance the design process by suggesting possibilities, has been preferred to an approach that emphasises optimisation and problem-solving.” morphogenesis..

Abstract Simple mechanics generate complex phenomenon parallel system, interact at local level like CA example of sensori-motor intelligence interaction w/ env, learning process, simple perceptions of forms discusses morphogenetic properties of swarm behavior p1 presents an example of mapping trajectories in the space of forms onto 3d flocking boids. 1. Simple agents and turtles. Sensori-motor..

“Vehicle I is equipped with one sensor and one motor (figure I). The connection is a very simple one. The more there is of the quality to which the sensor is tuned, the faster the motor goes.” pg 3 “As the vehicle pushes forward against frictional forces, it will deviate from its course. In the long run it..
