Abstract

In this position paper, we propose the development of a new biologically inspired paradigm based on fungal colonies, for the application to pervasive adaptive systems. Fungal colonies have a number ofproperties that make them an excellent candidate for inspiration for engineered systems. Here we propose the application ofsuch inspiration to a speckled computing platform. We argue that properties from fungal colonies map well to properties and requirements for controlling SpeckNets and suggest that an existing mathematical model ofa fungal colony can developed into a new computational paradigm.
