Multiphysics modeling for bone remodeling simulation: A methodological framework

In the present study an object oriented integrative modeling methodology is proposed for the construction of synthetic, computational models of bone-bone environment system that allow its simulation under in vivo conditions. The analytical mathematical approach to model and study ordinary materials will be outlined, indicating its limitations when dealing with biomaterials in physiological environments. The proposed object oriented integrative modeling will be explained emphasizing its advantages and possibilities. Finally, the architecture of the "in vivo" modeling and simulation software framework is shown, described and explained indicating further work based on this framework

Unreduced Dynamic Complexity: Towards the Unified Science of Intelligent Communication Networks and Software

Operation of autonomic communication networks with complicated user-oriented functions should be described as unreduced many-body interaction process. The latter gives rise to complex-dynamic behaviour including fractally structured hierarchy of chaotically changing realisations. We recall the main results of the universal science of complexity (http://cogprints.org/4471/) based on the unreduced interaction problem solution and its application to various real systems, from nanobiosystems (http://cogprints.org/4527/) and quantum devices to intelligent networks (http://cogprints.org/4114/) and emerging consciousness (http://cogprints.org/3857/). We concentrate then on applications to autonomic communication leading to fundamentally substantiated, exact science of intelligent communication and software. It aims at unification of the whole diversity of complex information system behaviour, similar to the conventional, "Newtonian" science order for sequential, regular models of system dynamics. Basic principles and first applications of the unified science of complex-dynamic communication networks and software are outlined to demonstrate its advantages and emerging practical perspectives

A hierarchical sensorimotor control framework for human-in-the-loop robotic hands.

Human manual dexterity relies critically on touch. Robotic and prosthetic hands are much less dexterous and make little use of the many tactile sensors available. We propose a framework modeled on the hierarchical sensorimotor controllers of the nervous system to link sensing to action in human-in-the-loop, haptically enabled, artificial hands
