<p>In this tutorial, self-organization mechanisms are described in natural systems<br> and are used to design algorithms for distributed computing. Applications<br> on ecosytems or urban dynamics modeling are presented. A processus<br> to distribute decentralized simulations from its communication graph is also<br> presented. Standard algorithms extensions need to achieve these processes or<br> simulations are developed. The decentralized approaches, inherent to these<br> bio-inspired algorithms, allow to extend them, respecting the complexity of<br> the phenomena to model.</p>
