ABSTRACT
Self-assembly is a process in which components autonomously organized into structure without external direction. There are many researches of self-assembly system at molecular scale to macro scale. Such a self-assembly system may serve as the new production method with the characteristics, such as decomposability, self-repairing, self-replicating and adaptability. For developing such a new production method, an understanding of the interaction of shape and pattern, which can be called as morphological computation, is important.

Fuel efficient computation in passive self-assembly
SODA '13: Proceedings of the twenty-fourth annual ACM-SIAM symposium on Discrete algorithmsIn this paper we show that passive self-assembly in the context of the tile self-assembly model is capable of performing fuel efficient, universal computation. The tile self-assembly model is a premiere model of self-assembly in which particles are ...
Algorithmic DNA self-assembly
AAIM'06: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and ManagementSelf-assembly is the ubiquitous process by which objects autonomously assemble into complexes. This phenomenon is common in nature and yet is poorly understood from mathematical and programming perspectives. It is believed that self-assembly technology ...
Self-assembly of 4-sided fractals in the Two-Handed Tile Assembly Model
We consider the self-assembly of fractals in one of the most well-studied models of tile based self-assembling systems known as the Two-Handed Tile Assembly Model (2HAM). In particular, we focus our attention on a class of fractals called discrete self-...
