- Organic computing is a form of biologically-inspired computing with organic properties. It has emerged recently as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Organic Computing is based on the insight that we will soon be surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicate freely, and organise themselves in order to perform the actions and services that seem to be required. The presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct such systems — which we increasingly depend on — as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the technologically possible seems absolutely central. In order to achieve these goals, our technical systems will have to act more independently, flexibly, and autonomously, i.e. they will have to exhibit life-like properties. We call those systems "organic". Hence, an "Organic Computing System" is a technical system, which adapts dynamically to the current conditions of its environment. It is characterised by the self-X properties: self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimisation, self-healing, self-protection, self-explaining, and context-awareness. The vision of Organic Computing and its fundamental concepts arose independently in different research areas like Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Computer Engineering. Self-organising systems have been studied for quite some time by mathematicians, sociologists, physicists, economists, and computer scientists, but so far almost exclusively based on strongly simplified artificial models. Central aspects of Organic Computing systems have been and will be inspired by an analysis of information processing in biological systems.
- Motiviert durch die Herausforderungen für die Informatik bezüglich der Gestaltung technischer Systeme, die uns in 5 bis 10 Jahren umgeben werden, erarbeitet der Forschungsbereich Organic Computing Antworten auf die Probleme der zu erwartenden Technologieentwicklungen. Die fortschreitende Miniaturisierung und die Steigerung der Leistungsfähigkeit mikro- und nanoelektronischer Systeme führen dazu, dass uns zukünftig eine Vielzahl intelligenter Systeme umgeben wird, die in dynamisch veränderlichen Einsatzumgebungen ihre Dienste erbringen. Über unterschiedlichste Kommunikationssysteme werden Informationen untereinander ausgetauscht, es entstehen zwangsläufig Netzwerke intelligenter Systeme, deren Verhalten nicht vollständig vorhersehbar sein wird. Die einzelnen Komponenten müssen somit in der Lage sein, auch in unvorhergesehenen Situationen sinnvoll zu reagieren, d. h. technische Systeme werden sich in ihrem Verhalten aufeinander und mit der Umgebung abstimmen können und müssen – sie passen sich an und sie organisieren sich selbst.
