What I want to say is that you can decide to call the same system self-organizing or not depending on your purposes (and the system, of course).<br /><br />You can find more about this in <br />Gershenson, C. and F. Heylighen (2003). When Can we Call a System Self-organizing? In Banzhaf, W, T. Christaller, P. Dittrich, J. T. Kim, and J. Ziegler, Advances in Artificial Life, 7th European Conference, ECAL 2003, Dortmund, Germany, pp. 606-614. LNAI 2801.

They seek to adapt, as though the human meddling were simply changes in the environment. But what if a human morphed into an ant, entered the colony and began to tell the ants how to do stuff? Feed the brood at two o'clock! Anybody who falls off the pheromone trail will be fined! :-)<br /><br />Well, this colony is no longer self governing (unless they ignore or destroy the human ant).<br /><br />What do you think?verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823525858589365541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-87739697261765146942012-01-25T10:47:01.553-06:002012-01-25T10:47:01.553-06:00I see.

Another question.....I see. This is not easy stuff.<br /><br />Another question... how do you tell when it's NOT self-organization? Where do you draw a line and still call it self-org, given some interventions? I am not sure if I am expressing myself clearly.verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823525858589365541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-48607916434297868912012-01-23T09:19:53.207-06:002012-01-23T09:19:53.207-06:00Vera,
Whether you judge a system as self-organizin...Vera,<br />Whether you judge a system as self-organizing or not also depends on the scale at which you make the description of the system. For example, if you look at a teenager at the cellular level, then it makes sense to speak about self-organization. If you describe her as a rule-based system, e.g. as a part of a crowd, then it is not so useful to describe her that way.<br />But anyway, in the sense of controlling (with external goals) a self-organizing system, the idea is to regulate/constrain/promote the behaviors of the components so that by following their own goals, they will reach a desired state. A bit like changing the flow of a river: you change the terrain, not the laws of physics. The river still flows downhill, but you can change the basin.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-36338675978258310252012-01-20T18:35:25.196-06:002012-01-20T18:35:25.196-06:00I appreciate you writing back! :-) I will think ab...I appreciate you writing back! :-) I will think about what you say, and explore further. <br /><br />Still, though, if you steer the teenager on the sly according to your own values and goals, are they really self-organizing (emphasis on the self part)? Gordon says self-org is a system in which the parts use only local info and the whole thing directs itself. Seems to me that a system that is directed by the programmer according to the programmer's goals is... well, not quite self-organization. It uses elements of self-organization to maintain outside control. I am new to this field of study, so please bear with me. I have to call it as I see it! Any further comments would be appreciated.verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823525858589365541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-61885029550699658672012-01-19T16:09:21.542-06:002012-01-19T16:09:21.542-06:00Hi Vera,

But you can steer them. Actually the etymology of Cybernetics has this sense.<br />The idea of the approach is to design/control elements of a system (at a lower scale) so that they self-organize to solve a problem (at a higher scale).Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-84317837187202934422012-01-19T16:01:24.697-06:002012-01-19T16:01:24.697-06:00Carlos, I just peeked at the thesis summary, and m...Carlos, I just peeked at the thesis summary, and my question is... isn't the control of self-organizing systems a misnomer? If you control it, then it's not self-organizing. I understand that you are interested in including elements of self-org into controlled systems to make them function better. Should such interventions have a different name?verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823525858589365541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-34491351414275383422012-01-18T09:26:07.739-06:002012-01-18T09:26:07.739-06:00A new version of this paper was just uploaded at t...A new version of this paper was just uploaded at the same arXiv location.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-56833091189639300842011-07-14T01:41:29.988-05:002011-07-14T01:41:29.988-05:00A great benefit of RoboCup is that it motivates st...A great benefit of RoboCup is that it motivates students, from elementary to graduate schools, to learn by building and competing. I am sure that kids learn much more on a RoboCup project (yes, even if it is about dancing robots) than for an exam, homeworks, or some other boring project. Students become engaged in the creative process, and to achieve their goal, unknowingly, they must learn math and programming and teamwork and many other valuable lessons.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-51112344019473330362011-07-11T10:57:46.060-05:002011-07-11T10:57:46.060-05:00Sí, mar, pero están mejores las del sitio oficial,...Sí, mar, pero están mejores las del sitio oficial, dijeron que también iban a poner videos...Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-14839737957823930392011-07-10T23:52:13.399-05:002011-07-10T23:52:13.399-05:00y no tomaste fotos de los robots y los partidos ??...y no tomaste fotos de los robots y los partidos ??? saludos !!!marhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900206179058958231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-36961745627825744002011-04-05T12:01:21.020-05:002011-04-05T12:01:21.020-05:00Thank you Wil!Thank you Wil!Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026482014739987226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155928.post-92115507410325854882011-04-05T10:56:53.817-05:002011-04-05T10:56:53.817-05:00You did a great job organizing IWSOS' technica...You did a great job organizing IWSOS' technical program!
