Project Ideas

This is the brainstorming section. In this section you will find random ideas and comments without too much consideration of feasability etc. Crazy ideas and wild dreams are welcome!

Individual Phenomena

Designing and tweaking so that the individual behaves in a desired way.

• Buffer Bacteria
• Random Number Generator
• Linear Amplifier

Oscillator-based Phenomena

Some clocking behaviors, such as counters and integrators etc.

• Generation Counter
• Oscillation Counter
• Swiss Watch

Collaborative Phenomena

Some of us have a great interest in some form of emergent phenomena and group dynamics based on simple local rules and external stimulae. Examples would be behaviors like sorting, pattern detections, flocking etc.

• Edge Detection
• Constructor Bacteria
• Sorting Bacteria
• Predator-Prey Behavior
• Pulser

Development Groups

We decided to cluster related projects and to form groups which will dedicate their time to this cluster. The goal is to converge to some single preferred solution based on these project ideas while keeping an eye on feasability, coolness, usefulness, and modular architecture on the way.

If you are in no group yet, please choose one.

Quorum Sensing based (Dominic, Giorgia, Herve)

• Sorting Bacteria
• Pulser
• Constructor Bacteria
• Controlled Cell Division
• Predator-Prey Behavior

Oscillator based (Urs, Christophe, Jonas)

• Generation Counter
• Oscillation Counter
• Swiss Watch

Generation based (-)

• Generation Counter
• Changing Generation Colors

Other projects (Jonas, Simon, Dominic)

• Edge Detection
• Buffer Bacteria

Merged Projects

The two projects below are the outcome of the work of our two remaining development groups. They both have their pros and cons and the discussion continues until at least Monday evening.

• Project X aka "SO-Constructor" by the development group for the Quorum_Sensing_based projects.
• Counter aka "The Thing" by the corresponding development group for Oscillator_based projects.

Ballot

Please everybody make your vote (1 means "forget it" and 10 means "definitely a Nature paper") on the four criteria.
