What is Organic Computing? Merriam Webster Dictionary on „organic“: • of, relating to, or derived from living organisms • having the characteristics of an organism : developing in the manner of a living plant or animal • forming an integral element of a whole • having systematic coordination of parts Learning from nature The whole is more than the sum of its parts
