Abstract

The goals of this paper are threefold: (1) to introduce SORE to the biocontrol systems research community, describe how it works and explain why it could be an successful basic building block for a biocontrol system, (2) to present the basic characteristics of SORE and Boolean networks (BN) in a modern control language, with emphasis on their mathematical bases, (3) to illustrate, using some simple examples, why SORE’s inherent properties enable it to realize many of the desired basic requirements for a “biologizing” control system. SORE also exhibits self-organizing, reproducing, colonization and grouping actions - essential traits of life. This paper does not report detailed research results; rather, it studies the feasibility of SORE in biocontrol systems based upon computer simulations. Rigorous research results will be presented in the future.
