Self-organising sensor web using Cell-Fate Optimisation

The Sensor Web as an open complex adaptive system exhibits many characteristic that are common to self-organising systems. One of the characteristics of the Sensor Web is that of self-adaptivity in a changing environment. The changing environment may be doing so both dynamically and stochastically. When presented by a dynamic and stochastic changing environment, such as a sensor resource unexpectedly going down, a self-adaptive system should exhibit robustness. Cell-fate optimisation and signal regulatory networks provide a mechanism for self-organisation of agents in environments that are dynamic, distributed and possibly stochastic. Cell-fate optimisation and signal regulatory networks are shown to be effective mechanisms not only for addressing robustness but also for addressing adaptivity in the sensor web in general.
