The notion organic highlights the idea that, in order to be manageable, such systems should exhibit self-organization, self-adaptation and self-healing characteristics similar to those of biological systems. In recent years, the principles underlying these characteristics are increasingly being investigated from the perspective of complex systems science, particularly using the conceptual framework of statistical physics and statistical mechanics. In this article, we review some of the interesting relations between statistical physics and networked systems and discuss applications in the engineering of organic overlay networks with predictable macroscopic properties. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/9431 Untrolle in Meetings und im Leben Dueck, Gunter 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/9434 Organic Computing Müller-Schloer, C.; Schmeck, H.; Ungerer, T. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/9420 Mitteilungen der Schweizer Informatik Gesellschaft / 2_2012 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
