Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this work, we develop a design method for physical infrastructure of SDI environments to enhance the evolution of evolvability, which is also observed in biological systems. Our method is based on a biological evolution model and provides both evolvability and adaptability under various patterns of traffic fluctuation and traffic growth. Our method determines the set of nodes to which physical resources should be added based on the possibility of evolution of a control matrix suitable for a new environment. Our results show that our method accommodates more patterns of traffic fluctuation than ad-hoc design methods do.
