Semiconductor nanowires have attracted extensive interest as one of the best-defined
classes of nanoscale building blocks for the bottom-up assembly of functional electronic and …

What determines large-scale anatomy? DNA does not directly specify geometrical
arrangements of tissues and organs, and a process of encoding and decoding for …

A comprehensive introduction to new approaches in artificial intelligence and robotics that
are inspired by self-organizing biological processes and structures. New approaches to …

This article reviews the existing work in self-healing and self-repairing technologies,
including work in software engineering, materials, mechanics, electronics, MEMS, self …

The shrinking of electronic devices will inevitably introduce a growing number of defects and
even make these devices more sensitive to external influences. It is, therefore, likely that the …

A novel approach to hardware fault tolerance is demonstrated that takes inspiration from the
human immune system as a method of fault detection. The human immune system is a …

At the beginning of the 1990s research started in how to combine soft comput ing with
reconfigurable hardware in a quite unique way. One of the methods that was developed has …

The origins of this book date back to 2014, during a period when one of the authors (TT) was
working in the other's (AD's) lab at Monash University in Australia. We had first met at a …

Probabilistic-model checking is a formal verification technique for analyzing the reliability
and performance of systems exhibiting stochastic behavior. In this paper, we demonstrate …

This paper proposes novel methods for making embryonic bio-inspired hardware efficient
against faults through self-healing, fault prediction, and fault-prediction assisted self-healing …
