Self-Organizing Computations: From Flocking Birds to Embryology to Nanotech
Local Interactions, Global Effects
Summary
-- emerging properties of systems that arise from local interactions
-- self-assembly at the nano level
-- flocking
-- embryonic development
-- ultimate goal: understanding systems like the brain
-- Shor-Berger virus cell assembly
-- .....
Rationale
Put a slightly more detailed explanation here, which can be aimed at general computer scientists.
