Visualizing Cognitive Moves for Assessing Information Perception Biases in Decision Making
Antony W. Iorio, Hussein A. Abbass, Svetoslav Gaidow +1
In decision making a key source of uncertainty is people's perception of information which is influenced by their attitudes toward risk. Both, perception of information and risk at…
Pervasive Flexibility in Living Technologies through Degeneracy Based Design
James Whitacre, Axel Bender
The capacity to adapt can greatly influence the success of systems that need to compensate for damaged parts, learn how to achieve robust performance in new environments, or exploi…
Evolutionary Mechanics: new engineering principles for the emergence of flexibility in a dynamic and uncertain world
James M Whitacre, Philipp Rohlfshagen, Axel Bender +1
Engineered systems are designed to deftly operate under predetermined conditions yet are notoriously fragile when unexpected perturbations arise. In contrast, biological systems op…
Networked buffering: a basic mechanism for distributed robustness in complex adaptive systems
James M Whitacre, Axel Bender
Here we propose a generic mechanism - networked buffering - for generating robust traits in complex systems that requires two basic conditions to be satisfied: 1) agents are versat…
Degeneracy: a link between evolvability, robustness and complexity in biological systems
James Whitacre, Axel Bender
A full accounting of biological robustness remains elusive; both in terms of the mechanisms by which robustness is achieved and the forces that have caused robustness to grow over…
Robustness and Adaptiveness Analysis of Future Fleets
Slawomir Wesolkowski, Michael Mazurek, James M. Whitacre +2
Making decisions about the structure of a future military fleet is a challenging task. Several issues need to be considered such as the existence of multiple competing objectives a…
