New Algorithms Inspired by BiologyWe are using these biological network models and tools to explore a new generation of networks that are composed of engineered systems such as sensors and processors. The goal is to formulate new algorithms and topologies for signal processing on distributed networks. As an example, we have developed a surface-mapping and flattening algorithm inspired by bacterial chemotaxis and are using it to formulate new approaches to signal sampling.
