Map-Building and Position Estimation in Mobile Robots Using Self-Organizing Maps
… research aims at identifying the possibility of self-organizing systems to build an internal representation of the input space, able to handle the case of an unknown environment, and moreover, examine the causes, consequences and solutions to the conflicting problem of catastrophic forgetting …

Multi-agent Coordination Algorithms for Pursuit-Evasion
The real-world application of multi-agent systems (MAS) is still challenging and limited, despite the exclusive advantage of MAS over single agent systems. The multi-agent coordination or swarm intelligence is a paramount concern. Based on pursuit-evasion games, this thesis investigates the safe …

Exploring for new photonic band gap structures
… gap structures. Specific structures found in self-organizing systems, the single P, the single G, and single D structures, are shown to possess large photonic band gaps. Design guidelines to fabricate these structures by interference lithography are given. A layer-by-layer approximation of the …

Automated detection of dune crest-lines in planetary satellite images
Dune-field patterns are believed to behave as self-organizing systems, but what causes the patterns to form is still poorly understood. The most obvious (and in many cases the most significant) aspect of a dune system is the pattern of dune crest lines. Extracting meaningful features such as crest …

Developing a Framework for Stigmergic Human Collaboration with Technology Tools: Cases in Emergency Response
… social media and geographic information systems (GIS), have become a transformational force in emergency response. Social media enables ad hoc collaboration, providing timely, useful information dissemination and sharing, and helping to overcome limitations of time and place. Geographic …

Mechanisms of self-organization in planarian regeneration
… translate into specific functional outcomes. Self-organization is an adaptive, non-linear and dynamic process, where diverse ordered patterns emerge from an initially disordered and noisy state through local interactions between the elements of a system. This can lead to the fascinating …

Emergence in the self-organizing city : a multi-functional intervention
The dissertation looks at the city as an emergent product of the lower-level activities of the city components. City components refer to the smaller elements which make up the fabric of a city like buildings, roads, inhabitants, cars etc. Lower-level activities refer to the interaction between …
