| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the biologically inspired adaptive network design, particularly in the context of amoeboid organisms such as Physarum Polycephalum. The research explores the use of slime molds and similar organisms to solve complex problems related to network design, optimization, and computation. Topics include adaptive transport networks, optimal transport networks, cellular automata models, maze solving, and behavioral intelligence. |
