FP6 Project PACE - Programmable Artificial Cell Evolution

Life revolves around real-world information processing, but the gap between computers and living systems is still formidable. The European Commission has approved an Integrated Project PACE that will create the foundation for a new generation of embedded information technology using programmable, self-assembling artificial cells.Distributed intelligent technical systems with self-organizing and evolvable life-like properties are required both to make the next generation of self-repairing computer and robotics technology and to direct all kinds of production and remediation on the nanoscale.
