Current research
Prof. Müller-Schloer’s main research interest is in a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing the self-organization of natural systems and the possibilities to transfer these mechanisms to complex technical systems.
He has co-initiated the successful research field of Organic Computing, which has found major public attention in Germany and worldwide. Together with Prof. Schmeck, Karlsruhe, and Prof. Ungerer, Augsburg, he has established Organic Computing as a serious research field in German academia and industry.
