  4. Objectives We will develop novel principles and methods for amorphous computation anchored in the theory of random graphs and informed by knowledge of a variety of complex biological systems that perform amorphous computation. The proposal’s originality lies in our use of random graph theory as a lingua franca bridging the gap between biology and computer science, and our focus on overlay networks spanning a range of scales. Our aim is to generate both generic and domain specific insight. In particular, we will produce solutions to problems in the area of self organizing networks, equipping them with the potential to learn, to autonomously control viral infections, and to establish dynamic community structures. The objective of this project is to (i) develop a rigorous and predictive understanding of the complex dynamics that result from the interplay between overlay and physical networks, and (ii) leverage this theoretical knowledge to engineer less wasteful middleware. To achieve this, we will translate the desirable emergent properties of large biological ensembles of nodes following simple decision rules to a peer-to-peer client demonstrator system.
