CHAPTER 6
Construction and Deconstruction
ABSTRACT
Construction and deconstruction processes for crystals growth, self-
confi guration of modular automata and fl exible self-packing strategies of
interest for large scales integration are presented.
The graded graphs associated to k-cores and shifted shapes are
described.
Entropy calculus is useful to evaluate construction and deconstruction
procedures.
Keywords: assembly, automata, Baxter permutation, construction, crystal,
