A group of individuals, organizations or things in internet of things (IoT) often dynamically self-organizes in small groups to accomplish certain tasks. This is common in virtual organization, social networks and the evolving field of IoT. These small groups have different behavioral characteristics than large groups. Members individually have some requirements and contribute some resources to...

Experimental evidence suggests that microfilaments and microtubules play contrasting roles in regulating the balance between motility and stability in neuronal structures. Actin-containing microfilaments are associated with structural plasticity, both during development when their dynamic activity drives the exploratory activity of growth cones and after circuit formation when the actin-rich de...

A novel, distributed timing allocation method [2, 3, 4, 5] has been proposed for packet collision avoidance in wireless sensor networks recently. In this paper, this proposed method is theoretically examined, and a hidden self-organization mechanism is unveiled. As the result, some important fundamental questions regarding this method are reasonably resolved. Namely, our present analysis provid...

Homeostatic plasticity is regulatory mechanism that modulates both synaptic connections and intrinsic properties of individual neuron in order to maintain stability of neuronal activity. This type of plasticity is considered to be an important complement to Hebbian plasticity, especially during learning and development process of nervous system. In this project, the role of homeostatic plastici...

Neurons develop distinctive dendritic morphologies to receive and process information. Previous experiments showed that competitive dendro-dendritic interactions play critical roles in shaping dendrites of the space-filling type, which uniformly cover their receptive field. We incorporated this finding in constructing a new mathematical model, in which reaction dynamics of two chemicals (activa...

We introduce the concept of holonic stigmergy as a mechanism for tuning the emergence of optimal organizational structures and illustrate how it works on a power network energy saving example.

This paper proposes a connectionist mechanism to support adaptive real-time routing in computer networks. In particular, an Adaptive Self-Organizing Concurrent System (ASOCS) model is used as the basic network router. ASOCS are connectionist models which achieve learning and processing in a parallel and self-organizing fashion. By exploiting parallel processing the ASOCS network router addresse...

the development of regional logistics system is a typical self-adapting and self-organizing evolution process. According to the structures and operation of regional logistics, the self-organizing characteristics of regional logistics synergetic evolution are analyzed. Moreover, the space evolution phases of regional logistics system are educed based on the complex system theory, and the enterpr...

A method is introduced for assigning colors to displays of cluster structures of high-dimensional data, such that the perceptual differences of the colors reflect the distances in the original data space as faithfully as possible. The method consists of three parts: First the cluster structures are discovered with the Self-Organizing Map (SOM), and then a new nonlinear projection method is appl...
