This paper gives out an overview of embryonic electronics (Embryonics) which provides an entirely new approach to design highly robust integrated circuits inspired by the embryonic development of living beings. After a general introduction of research concerning Embryonics, we investigate the current status of Embryonics, discuss the key technical issues and the challenges i. e. We are facing to develop practical and large-scale Embryonics. In addition, we indicate the areas of interest for future research.

A new class of low-cost satellites has the potential to reduce the cost of traditional space-based services. Unfortunately, to date, low-cost satellites have proven to suffer from poor reliability. While traditional techniques for increasing reliability are well known to satellite developers, these techniques are poorly suited for implementation on low-cost satellites due to intrinsic budgetary, mass and volume constraints. This research proposes that alternative techniques for increasing system reliability can be derived by studying biological organisms, which have proven their robustness by inhabiting even the harshest locations on earth. Both unicellular and multicellular organisms are examined. The result is a conceptual system architecture, based on initially identical, reconfigurable hardware blocks, or artificial cells, and a decentralized task management strategy. This multicellular architecture is described in detail. Finally, preliminary details of a planned implementation are given. This implementation aims to demonstrate that a significant portion of traditional satellite avionics can be replaced by the proposed artificial cells

“…2) Bio-Inspired Techniques for Self-Organization and Self-Healing: Bio-inspired techniques can be applied to reconfig-urable hardware cell architecture, with capabilities of selforganization and self-healing being supported [145]. Those capabilities come from two fundamental biological processes, i.e., fertilization-to-birth and cell self-healing, as enabled by Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).…”

“…A new platform based on the electronic DNA (eDNA) can thus be developed to enable a reconfigurable hardware cell architecture. The mechanism aforementioned may play an important role in improving the SON capabilities of 3GPP LTE, with some concrete performance measures, such as a fast self-configuration, a hardwarelevel self-healing, and a high fault-tolerance capability, etc., being obtained [145].…”

Inspired by swarm intelligence observed in social species, the artificial self-organized networking (SON) systems are expected to exhibit some intelligent features (e.g., flexibility, robustness, decentralized control, and self-evolution, etc.) that may have made social species so successful in the biosphere. Self-organized networks with swarm intelligence as one possible solution have attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry. In this paper, we survey different aspects of bioinspired mechanisms and examine various algorithms that have been applied to artificial SON systems. The existing well-known bio-inspired algorithms such as pulse-coupled oscillators (PCO)based synchronization, ant-and/or bee-inspired cooperation and division of labor, immune systems inspired network security and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)-based multipath routing have been surveyed and compared. The main contributions of this survey include 1) providing principles and optimization approaches of variant bio-inspired algorithms, 2) surveying and comparing critical SON issues from the perspective of physicallayer, Media Access Control (MAC)-layer and network-layer operations, and 3) discussing advantages, drawbacks, and further design challenges of variant algorithms, and then identifying their new directions and applications. In consideration of the development trends of communications networks (e.g., largescale, heterogeneity, spectrum scarcity, etc.), some open research issues, including SON designing tradeoffs, Self-X capabilities in the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced systems, cognitive machine-tomachine (M2M) self-optimization, cross-layer design, resource scheduling, and power control, etc., are also discussed in this survey.
