Beschreibung

Dieser Kurs setzt sich mit verschiedenen Formen der Selbst-Organisation auseinander.
Das geschieht in Form von Übungen und Experimenten mit der Programmiersprache Processing.

Die drei Themengebiete sind:

  • Muster-Bildung (Zelluläre Automaten und Turing Patterns)
  • Dynamische Selbst-Organisation (Swarm-Art)
  • Selbst-Konfiguration (Geometrische Physik und Chemie)

Description

This course tackles several forms of Self-Organisation.
The subject is approached via exercises and experiments in the Processing programming language.

The three subject areas are:

  • Pattern Formation (Cellular Automata and Turing Patterns)
  • Dynamic Self-Organisation (Swarm-Art)
  • Self-Assembly (Geometric Physics and Chemistry)

Sketch Collections

Martin Schneider has created four collections of Processing sketches to give you an impression what Self-Organisation in software can look like.

Virtual Classroom

Open Processing is a website for learning Processing and sharing sketches.
The virtual classroom "Self-Organisation by Design" will be used extensively both during the course, and to publish your assignments.

The Nature of Code by Dan Shiffman

Daniel Shiffman has published a Processing book on Natural Systems, that is available online.
Some chapters are quite relevant to the kind of systems we are going to explore in our course.
