Werkmodul/Fachmodul
Lecturer: Martin Schneider
Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS
Date: Block-Workshops
Venue: Marienstraße 7b, Room 204
First meeting: 2013-11-29

Beschreibung

Dieser Kurs setzt sich mit verschiedenen Formen der Selbst-Organisation auseinander.
Das geschieht in Form von Übungen und Experimenten mit der Programmiersprache Processing.

Die drei Themengebiete sind:

Muster-Bildung (Zelluläre Automaten und Turing Patterns)
Dynamische Selbst-Organisation (Swarm-Art)
Selbst-Konfiguration (Geometrische Physik und Chemie)

Description

This course tackles several forms of Self-Organisation.
The subject is approached via exercises and experiments in the Processing programming language.

The three subject areas are:

Pattern Formation (Cellular Automata and Turing Patterns)
Dynamic Self-Organisation (Swarm-Art)
Self-Assembly (Geometric Physics and Chemistry)

Language

The course will be in English, unless all participants are speaking German.

Leistungsnachweis

Regular and active participation in all three workshop blocks.
Working on subtasks and presenting them with documentation on the wiki and on OpenProcessing
Autonomous preparation of the course involving self-study of the relevant skills (such as programming in Processing)
Final Assignment: Individual exploration of Self-Organisation with documentation on the wiki

Application

Please sign up on the official list at the secretary with Daniela Dembowski.

All applicants are encouraged, to send an email

To: Martin Schneider
Subject: Self-Organisation by Design /// Application

Please provide a short answer to the questions below:

What's your programming expertise? (Programming languages, generative works, projects ...)
What do you already know about self-organisation (Books you read, related courses you took)
What kind of computational processes are you most interested in? (Cellular Automata, Swarm Systems ...)
What kind of patterns in nature would you like to learn more about?

Syllabus

This is an outline of the syllabus.
The dates are fixed, but details of the course may be subject to change.

Sketch Collections

Martin Schneider has created four collections of Processing sketches to give you an impression what Self-Organisation in software can look like.

Virtual Classroom

Open Processing is a website for learning Processing and sharing sketches.
The virtual classroom "Self-Organisation by Design" will be used extensively both during the course, and to publish your assignments.

The Nature of Code by Dan Shiffman

Daniel Shiffman has published a Processing book on Natural Systems, that is available online.
Some chapters are quite relevant to the kind of systems we are going to explore in our course.
