This paper discusses the notion of “core bio-inspired services” - low-level services providing basic bio-inspired mechanisms, such as evaporation, aggregation or spreading - shared by higher-level services or applications. Design patterns descriptions of self-organising mechanisms, such as gossip, morphogenesis, or foraging, show that these higher-level mechanisms are composed of basic bio-inspired mechanisms (e.g. digital pheromone is composed of spreading, aggregation and evaporation). In order to ease design and implementation of self-organising applications (or high-level services), by supporting reuse of code and algorithms, this paper proposes BIO-CORE, an execution model that provides these low-level services at the heart of any middleware or infrastructure supporting such applications, and provides them as “core” built-in services around which all other services are built.
