NiMOC is a European coordination action focused on nature-inspired smart information systems. This group aims to explore intelligent paradigms in nature and apply them to the design of advanced information systems. Activities include modeling, optimization, and control, with a focus on applications in biomedical systems. Learn more about NiMOC's contributions to the roadmap and their accomplished activities in 2007.

NiMOC Conclusions (1/3) Nature-inspired Modelling, Optimization and Control are dedicated to the investigation of intelligent paradigms existing in Nature and studied by systems approaches, such as Systems Biology, in order to learn from them how to better design smart, i.e. intelligent, adaptive and advanced information systems. Nature-inspired Algorithms are most appropriate for problems of optimization, scheduling, chemometrics, routing, and assignment, management, organization, and logistics.
NiMOC Conclusions (2/3) Regulatory gene expression and cellular signal transduction may be considered as some kind of data processing or information processing. Together with motif recognition on promoters and enhancers they seem to have the potential for the design of new Nature-inspired algorithms of data and information processing. Within NiSIS, Reverse Engineering in Systems Biology may also be considered an essential first step to elucidate/reconstruct some of Nature’s information processing principles in order to proceed towards design of more advanced artificial information systems.
NiMOC Conclusions (3/3) • Approaches to Nature-inspired Modeling, Optimization and Control represented by NiMOC members are: • Reverse Engineering • Fuzzy rule-based modeling • Linguistic reasoning and fuzzy modeling and inference • Fuzzification as coarse graining in multiscale modeling and simulation • Cellular automata, Turing models • Neuro-fuzzy hybrid models • Coupling intragranular dynamics with extragranular dynamics • Modeling from sparse data • Hierarchical decomposition of decision-making and control • Modelling self-organizing adaptive behaviour • Multi-objective optimisation/goal seeking using Particle Swarm Intelligence • Modelling Coupled moduls • Artificial Immune System • Piecewise Linear Dynamic Modeling • Network Modelling and Simulation from sparse, incomplete and uncertain data
