Description
Self-assembly is a process that creates complex heirarchical structures through the statistical exploration of alternative configurations.
These processes occur without external intervention. Self-Assembly processes are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding how nature produces
self-assembled systems will represent an enormous leap forward in our technological capabilities. Robustness and versatility are some
of the most important properties of self-assembling natural systems.
Although systems where self-assembly occurs, or which are created
by a self-assembling process, are remarkably vaired, some common principles are starting to be discerned. The unifying thread throughout
the book is the "Computational Nature of Self-Assembling Systems."
Audience
Scientists, researchers and post-graduate students, practitioners in industry, engineering and science, managers, decision-makers and policy makers
