self-organizing

The notion of self-organizing systems is tied up to work in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, including that pioneered by chemist and Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine in his study of dissipative structures.

Data clustering techniques – such as the self-organizing map ( SOM ), have been applied to vibration monitoring and analysis of transformer on-load tap-changers ( OLTCS ).

Honing theory posits that creativity arises due to the self-organizing, self-mending nature of a worldview, and that it is by way of the creative process the individual hones ( and re-hones ) an integrated worldview.

Only certain kinds of networks are self-organizing.

It may be that much of insect mimicry, including the Viceroy / Monarch mimicry, results from similar self-organizing processes, and thus the tendency for convergence by chance would be high.

This includes matrices, continuous functions or even other self-organizing maps.

The result is a self-organizing and self-validating circle.

More recently, the loosely coupled, self-organizing network of businesses that cooperate to provide product and service offerings has been called the Extended Enterprise.

He used the term catallaxy to describe a " self-organizing system of voluntary co-operation.

There are also cited examples of " self-organizing " behaviour found in the literature of many other disciplines, both in the natural sciences and the social sciences such as economics or anthropology.

The following is an incomplete list of the diverse phenomena which have been described as self-organizing in biology.

Niall Shanks and Karl H. Joplin, both of East Tennessee State University, have shown that systems satisfying Behe's characterization of irreducible biochemical complexity can arise naturally and spontaneously as the result of self-organizing chemical processes.

CDA trains a self-organizing neural network to fit the manifold and seeks to preserve geodesic distances in its embedding.

Within modern-day biological sciences organicism is the approach that stresses the organization ( particularly the self-organizing properties ), rather than the composition, of organisms.

Quorum sensing can be a useful tool for improving the function of self-organizing networks such as the SECOAS ( Self-Organizing Collegiate Sensor ) environmental monitoring system.

The original " principle of the self-organizing dynamic system " was formulated by the cybernetician Ashby in 1947.

* The system should apparently be dynamic and self-organizing ( unlike a mere book on its own ).

In particular, many engineers saw a need for self-organizing ad-hoc digital radio networks.

ART thus defines a type of self-organizing production system.

Edelman called it " reentry " and proposes a model of reentrant signaling whereby a disjunctive, multimodal sampling of the same stimulus event correlated in time leads to self-organizing intelligence.

Recently, Lindquist has made advances in nanotechnology, researching organic amyloid fibers capable of self-organizing into structures smaller than manufactured materials.

Ecosystems are complex adaptive systems where the interaction of life processes form self-organizing patterns across different scales of time and space.

At the beginning when the neighborhood is broad, the self-organizing takes place on the global scale.

A self-organizing map ( SOM ) or self-organizing feature map ( SOFM ) is a type of artificial neural network ( ANN ) that is trained using unsupervised learning to produce a low-dimensional ( typically two-dimensional ), discretized representation of the input space of the training samples, called a map.

However, crystalline structure and hurricanes are said to have a self-organizing phase.
