In its conclusion the book moves beyond Physarum and provides results of scoping experiments approximating other complex systems using the multi-agent approach. The results of this book demonstrate the power and range of harnessing emergent phenomena arising in simple multi-agent systems for biological modelling, computation and soft-robotics applications. It methodically describes the necessary components and their interactions, showing how deceptively simple components can create powerful mechanisms, aided by abundant illustrations, supplementary recordings and interactive models. It will be of interest to those in biological sciences, physics, computer science and robotics who wish to understand how simple components can result in complex and useful behaviours and who wish explore the potential of guided pattern formation themselves.

Examines and models the behavior of a simple organism which is capable of remarkable biological and computational features that seem to transcend its simple component parts
Addresses topics of mobile multi-agent systems, pattern formation, biological modelling, artificial life, unconventional computation, and robotics
Methodically describes the necessary components and their interactions, showing how deceptively simple components can create powerful mechanisms, aided by abundant illustrations, supplementary recordings and interactive models
Asks the following question: How can something as simple as Physarum do such complex things, and with such limited resources?

Part II Modelling Physarum polycephalum..- Part III Material Computation in a Multi-agent Model of Physarum polycephalum: Mechanisms and Applications.- Part IV From Emergent Oscillations to Collective Transport and Amoeboid Movement.- Part V Conclusions and Beyond Physarum models.
