Seminal Projects
Organic Computing is directly connected to or has inspired the work in several research projects. We give an overview of selected major joint research activities.
- Initiators: Christian Müller-Schloer, Hartmut Schmeck, Theo Ungerer
- Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
- Funding Volume: About € 12 million for 18 projects
- Website:https://www.organic-computing.de/SPP
- Goal: The priority program addressed fundamental challenges in the design of Organic Computing systems; its objective was a deeper understanding of emergent global behavior in self-organizing systems and the design of specific concepts and tools to support the construction of Organic Computing systems for technical applications.
- Initiators: Elisabeth André, Jörg Hähner, Christian Müller-Schloer, Wolfgang Reif, Theo Ungerer
- Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
- Website:https://www.uni-augsburg.de/de/fakultaet/fai/isse/projects/octrust/
- Goal: The project's aim is to develop techniques that allow the consideration of trust during analysis, design, and implementation of Organic Computing systems. Apart from the conscious generation of trustworthiness, evaluation, and comparison of different facets of trust or metrics thereof are a part of this endeavor.
- Initiators: Jürgen Teich, Jörg Henkel, Andreas Herkersdorf, Doris Schmitt-Landsiedel, Wolfgang Schröder-Preikschat, Gregor Snelting
- Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
- Website:http://invasic.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/en/index.php
- Goal: The main idea of invasive computing is to introduce resource-aware programming support in the tense that a given program gets the ability to explore and dynamically spread its computations to neighbor processors similar to a phase of invasion, then to execute portions of code of high parallelism degree in parallel based on the available (invasible) region on a given multi-processor architecture. Afterward, once the program terminates or if the degree of parallelism should be lower again, the program may enter a retreat phase, deallocate resources and resume execution again, for example, sequentially on a single processor.
- Initiators: Jörg Henkel, Oliver Bringmann, Andreas Herkersdorf, Wolfgang Rosenstiel, Norbert Wehn
- Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
- Website:http://spp1500.itec.kit.edu/index.php
- Goal: The goal of this priority program is to develop new methods and architectures at system level as to eliminate the effects associated when migrating to new technology nodes like malfunctioning, performance degradation, increased power consumption.
