The POE Model of Bio-Inspired Hardware Systems

​A 1997 Classic, published in the inaugural issue of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation: A Phylogenetic, Ontogenetic, and Epigenetic View of Bio-Inspired Hardware Systems. ​

Living organisms are complex systems exhibiting a range of desirable characteristics, such as evolution, adaptation, and fault tolerance, which have proved difficult to realize using traditional engineering methodologies. Recently, engineers have been allured by certain natural processes, giving birth to such domains as artificial neural networks and evolutionary …
