Molecular machines with bio-inspired mechanisms

Bio-inspired Computing Machines with Self-repair Mechanisms

Developmental biology requires three principles of organization characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these principles, new computing machines become able to grow, to self-replicate, and to self-repair. The introduction of a new algorithm for cellular division, the so-called Tom Thumb ...

BIO-CORE: Bio-inspired Self-organising Mechanisms Core

This paper discusses the notion of “core bio-inspired services” low-level services providing basic bio-inspired mechanisms, such as evaporation, aggregation or spreading shared by higher-level services or applications. Design patterns descriptions of self-organising mechanisms, such as gossip, morphogenesis, or foraging, show that these higherlevel mechanisms are composed of basic bio-inspired ...

Bio-inspired mechanisms for efficient and adaptive network security mechanisms

In recent years, many efforts have been made in developing algorithms and methodologies for building efficient network security mechanisms. The primary requirements are efficiency, adaptability, and scalability. Network security mechanisms are composed of several components. First, high-performance network monitoring entities are required allowing the analysis of transmitted data even in high-s...

Molecular Oscillator: A bio-inspired oscillator for Molecular Nanonetworks

In this paper we present a model of an oscillator for nano-machines. We take a bio-inspired approach to develop the oscillator. Inspired by the oscillatory behavior found in calcium signaling, we develop the basis of the signal dynamics of the molecular oscillator. The molecular oscillator uses three different excitatory molecules: type A, B and C. These molecules are triggered and released in ...
