Self-Testable and Self-Repairable Bio-Inspired Configurable Circuits

Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in configurable circuits endowed with self-organizing properties like configuration, cloning, cicatrization, and regeneration. Among these properties, the activation of the two last ones is triggered by the existence of a fault detected by a built-in self-test mechanism. The goal of our paper is to implement such test mechanisms in the bio-inspired configurable circuits in order to make them self-testable and self-repairable.
