  Integral biomathics: a post-Newtonian view into the logos of bios.

  Plamen L Simeonov

  Progress in biophysics and molecular biology. 02/2010; 102(2-3):85-121.

  This work is an attempt for a state-of-the-art survey of natural and life sciences with the goal to define the scope and address the central questions of an original research program.

[more] This work is an attempt for a state-of-the-art survey of natural and life sciences with the goal to define the scope and address the central questions of an original research program. It is focused on the phenomena of emergence, adaptive dynamics and evolution of self-assembling, self-organizing, self-maintaining and self-replicating biosynthetic systems viewed from a newly-arranged perspective and understanding of computation and communication in the living nature. The author regards this research as an integral part of the emerging discipline of nature-inspired or natural computation, i.e. computation inspired by or occurring in nature. Within this context, he is interested in studies which represent a significant departure from traditional theories about complex systems and self-organization, emergent phenomena and artificial biology. In particular, these include non-conventional approaches exploring the aggregation, composition, growth and development of physical forms and structures, autopoiesis along with the associated abstract information structures and processes. This paper provides a critical review of the major assumptions which guide the development of modern computer science and engineering towards emulating biological systems. For this purpose, the author explores the potential and the virtues of biology to reshape contemporary science. The goal of this survey is to discuss the present state of natural and engineering sciences in the light of a necessary paradigm change in the structure and methodology of research and deliver some insights for developing a new kind of integral science based on the principles for dynamic interdependence of the constituting disciplines and on the evolving relationships among them.

• A Concentric Multi-ring Overlay for Highly Reliable P2P Networks

  Network Computing and Applications, Fourth IEEE International Symposium on; 08/2005

[more] The paper presents a concentric multi-ring overlay networking topology for fast and shortest-path resource discovery in dynamic distributed systems like P2P network. First, we define a highly reliable P2P system called HiPeer, which is deployed on top of the logical overlay with a number of lowest bounds in terms of network performance. Then, we demonstrate that for any De Bruijn digraph of degree dges2 and diameter D_DB, HiPeer constructs a highly reliable network, where each node maintains a routing table with a size of at most 2d+3 entries independent of the number N of nodes in the system. Further, we show that for any network with at most d nodes, any existing resource in the network can be found within at most D_HiPeer=log_d(N(d-1)+d)-1 hops. This result is as close to the Moore bound as the query path length in the other best P2P proposals based on the De Bruijn digraphs. Thus, HiPeer defines a highly connected network with connectivity d and the lowest yet known lookup bound D_HiPeer. Moreover, we show that any node's "join or leave" operation in HiPeer implies a constant expected reorganization cost of the magnitude order of O(d) control messages

• WARAAN: a higher-order adaptive routing algorithm for wireless multimedia in wandering networks

  P.L. Simeonov

  Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications, 2002. The 5th International Symposium on; 11/2002

  The wandering network (WN) (see Simeonov, P.L., Proc. IEEE Int. Symp. on Parallel & Distributed Processing - IPDPS'02, 2002) is a new type of communications architecture defined by: (1) flexible, multi-modal specialization of network nodes as virtual subnetworks; (2) mobility and virtualizat... [more] The wandering network (WN) (see Simeonov, P.L., Proc. IEEE Int. Symp. on Parallel & Distributed Processing - IPDPS'02, 2002) is a new type of communications architecture defined by: (1) flexible, multi-modal specialization of network nodes as virtual subnetworks; (2) mobility and virtualization of the net functions in hardware and software; (3) self-organization as multi-feedback-based topology-on-demand. Network elements can contain several exchangeable modules capable of executing diverse network functions in parallel. These functions can be invoked, transported to or generated in the nodes upon delivery of mobile code containing programs about the node's behaviour. An essential characteristic of the WN approach is the inherent ability to spread out instantly information about architectural changes among the nodes by encoding executable re-construction (genetic) instructions within the transported active packets - as "network" genes, N-genes.

[more] This paper presents a distributed IN architecture called @INGate that allows users to access a common mailbox from both the Internet side using standard e-mail and WWW frontends and from the telephony side using fixed and mobile telephones and fax machines. The core of this new architecture is the network-bridge service node (NB-SN), a distributed intelligent network (IN) element consisting of a channel matrix switch (CMS) to connect to the PSTN/ISDN, several resource platforms (RP) containing media conversion modules (MCM) to perform the required media translations, an Internet gateway (IG) to hold the subscribers' mailboxes and provide the Internet connectivity, and a service node controller (SNC) to manage the overall service logic and the above NB-SN components. The service node itself is managed along with other nodes in a distributed IN by a TMN-compliant operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) center

[more] This paper deals with a formal approach for decomposition and description of multimedia service components and their performance analysis. Our approach is based on the Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) specifications. A TLA based specification of multimedia components is transformed into process prototypes described with the SPIMS (SICS Protocol Implementation Measurement System) application language. The multimedia component prototype derived in this way is then evaluated with the SPIMS tool for different QoS parameters. The proposed approach using TLA based specifications, transformations in SPIMS application prototypes, and performance analysis provides the background for an computer based system for test specification and performance analysis which is currently under development. We present and discuss practical test scenarios derived from the proposed method for performance analysis of the Audio-Visual Communication (AVC) component of the Joint-Viewing and Tele-Operation Service (...
