Design methodologies and engineering applications for ecosystem biomimicry: an interdisciplinary review spanning cyber, physical, and cyber-physical systems

Kathryn Hinkelman, Yizhi Yang, Wangda Zuo · Bioinspiration & Biomimetics · 2023

Ecosystem biomimicry is a promising pathway for sustainable development. However, while typical form- and process-level biomimicry is prevalent, system-level ecosystem biomimicry remains a nascent practice in numerous engineering fields. This critical review takes an interdisciplinary approach to synthesize trends across case studies, evaluate design methodologies, and identify future opportunities when applying ecosystem biomimicry to engineering practices, including cyber systems (CS), physical systems (PS), and cyber-physical systems (CPS). After systematically sourcing publications from major databases, the papers were first analyzed at a meta level for their bibliographic context and for statistical correlations among categorical variables. Then, we investigated deeper into the engineering applications and design methodologies. Results indicate that CPS most frequently mimic organisms and ecosystems, while CS and PS frequently mimic populations-communities and molecules-tissues-organ systems, respectively (statistically highly significant). An indirect approach is most often used for mimicry at organizational levels from populations to ecosystems, while a direct approach frequently suits levels from molecules to organisms (highly significant). Dominant themes across engineering applications include symbiotic organism search algorithms for CS and ecological network analysis for CPS, while PS are highly diverse. For design methodologies, this work summarizes and details ten well-documented biomimetic process models among literature, which addresses an outdated concern for a lack of systematic methods for ecosystem biomimicry. In addition to the Biomimetics Standard ISO 18458, these methods include the Natural Step and Techno-Ecological Synergy framework, among others. Further, the analyses revealed future opportunities from less utilized design methods (e.g. interdisciplinary teams tackling indirect, ecosystem-level projects) to well-established engineering concepts ready for technological advancement (e.g. implementing membrane computing for physical applications). For future studies, this review provides a comprehensive reference for ecosystem biomimetic design practices and application opportunities across multiple engineering domains.

Evaluating Methodologies: A Requirements Engineering Approach Through the Use of an Exemplar

2005

Abstract. Systems development methodologies continue to be a central area of research in software engineering. As the nature of applications and systems usage move increasingly towards open networked environments, not only are new methodologies required, but new ways for evaluating methodologies for these new environments are also required. The agent-oriented approach to software engineering introduces concepts such as pro-activeness and autonomy to achieve more flexible and robust systems for complex applications environments. A number of AOSE methodologies have been proposed. In order to evaluate and compare these methods in depth, we proposed the use of a common exemplar – a detailed application setting within which each of the methodologies will be worked out. The evaluation method emphasizes a requirements engineering perspective. In this paper we show how to apply this exemplar to evaluate three agentoriented methodologies.

A Multidimentional Framework for the Evaluation of Multiagent System Methodologies

Arsène Sabas, Mourad Badri, Sylvain Delisle · 2002

Because of the great interest in using multiagent systems (MAS) in a wide variety of applications in recent years, agent-oriented methodologies and related modeling techniques have become a priority for the development of large scale agent-based systems. The work we present here belongs to the disciplines of Software Engineering and Distributed Artificial Intelligence. More specifically, we are interested in software engineering aspects involved in the development of multiagent systems (MAS). Several methodologies have been proposed for the development of MAS. For the most part, these methodologies remain incomplete: they are either an extension of object-oriented methodologies or an extension of knowledge-based methodologies. In addition, too little effort has gone into the standardization of MAS methodologies, platforms and environments. It seems obvious, therefore, that software engineering aspects of the development of MAS still remains an open field. The success of the agent paradigm requires systematic methodologies for the specification, analysis and design of "non toy" MAS applications. We present in this paper a new framework called MUCCMAS, which stands for MUltidimensional framework of Criteria for the Comparison of MAS methodologies, that enabled us to make a comparative analysis of existing main MAS methodologies.

2006a) ‘Towards a holistic approach to redesigning legacy applications for the web with UWA and

Damiano Distante, Scott Tilley, Gerardo Canfora · 2005

Web applications design methodologies hold the promise of engineering high-quality and long-lived Web systems and rich Internet applications. However, many such methodologies focus solely on green-field development, and do not properly address the situation of leveraging the value locked in legacy systems. This paper proposes a holistic approach to redesigning legacy applications for the Web using the Ubiquitous Web Applications Design Framework (UWA) and an extended version of its Transaction Design Model (UWAT+). The approach blends design recovery technologies for capturing the know-how embedded in the legacy application with forward design methods particularly well suited for Web-based systems.

The overall results of this comparative analysis are presented here. Results from this work have also lead us to propose a unification scheme, much in the same spirit as that of UML, for MAS methodologies. Our goal is to make MAS design and development more systematic and to contribute to the standardisation of MAS methodologies and platforms.
