Directed Self-assembly of 2-Dimensional Mesoblocks Using Top-Down/Bottom-Up Design

摘要: In this paper we present a general design methodology suitable for class of complex multi-agent systems which are capable self-assembly. Our is based on top-down, bottom-up approach, has the potential to achieve range global goals whilst retaining emergent behaviour somewhere in system, and thereby allowing access richer solution space. experimental environment software system model 2-dimensional self-assembly groups autonomous agents, where agents defined as square smart blocks. The goal such direct process produce specified structure. been realised by demonstrating its application “toy” problem – rectangles different sizes shapes two-dimensional mesoblock environment. procedure shows choices available decomposing into subsidiary goals, well steps needed ensure match what achievable from process. Encouraging results have obtained, allows size be assembled directed fashion. Two approaches same were presented, showing flexibility method.
