ABSTRACT
The potential of the adaptive morphogenesis methods proposed by architect Christopher Alexander is yet to be fully realised in enterprise data analysis context. These could be customised to provide a suitable metaphor for organising analyses and to introduce novel analysis techniques. We propose a related framework and demonstrate its usage on a prototype. Our particular focus has been on identifying fundamental structural properties similar to those Alexander found present in living structures elsewhere. In addition to giving a justified structure to analyses and wholistically organising their artifacts, the framework might be useful in assessing existing analyses and analysis patterns

Unraveling complex temporal associations in cellular systems across multiple time-series microarray datasets
Unraveling the temporal complexity of cellular systems is a challenging task, as the subtle coordination of molecular activities cannot be adequately captured by simple mathematical concepts such as correlation. This paper addresses the challenge with a ...
Morphogenesis in Plants: Modeling the Shoot Apical Meristem, and Possible Applications
EH '99: Proceedings of the 1st NASA/DOD workshop on Evolvable HardwareA key determinant of overall morphogenesis in flowering plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana is the shoot apical meristem (growing tip of a shoot). Gene regulation networks can be used to model this system. We exhibit a very preliminary two-dimensional ...
Epigenetic forest and flower morphogenesis
AbstractThis paper studies the epigenetic process that leads to Angiosperms’ flower architecture (flowering plants). As a case study, we analyze the flower Arabidopsis thaliana’s GRN obtained during cell fate determination in the early stages of the ...
