Innovation-Oriented Programming: Software Development as a Medium for Exaptation and Implications fd visualizations to problems other than the ones they were originally developed to solve. Unfortunately these innovations have largely been the result of serendipity. Because modern software development is fundamentally aligned to the same principles of evolution that lead to biological innovation—m

Dancing with the Urban Exaptation, design of the space (in turn with a multiplicity of declinations: urban, regional, global, physical, immaterial, cognitive, …) giving evidence to the overlap of logical-organizational design models generated by these waves of transformation. The operation is complex because the design processes are

Mapping Exaptation as Source of Smart Specialization in European Regional Policy Between Tacitness . Therefore, with this paper, we highlight the key role exaptation may play in shaping the competitiveness of EU regions and draft a policy to leverage exaptation in EU regions starting from new matching between tacitness and codification.

Exaptation in Physics and Materials Science,iscovery provides excellent examples of both adaptation and exaptation. Finally, we discuss how basic mechanisms resulting from long-term evolutionary histories—based both on adaptation and exaptation—can now be exploited to design new functional bio-inspired materials.

Exaptation for the Good and the Bad: Regeneration and Cancer,, . and .. On the other hand, tumour cells use the same genes related to Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) to become more prone to migrate and to acquire an aggressive phenotype. Finally, I will discuss how the era of “Big Data” is helping us to identify processes that use exaptation to create serendipity.

The Role of Affordance Landscapes in Exaptive Innovations,gure landscapes of potential affordances in order to reach specific goals. The notion of affordance landscape helps us to shed light on the ability of living beings to reconceive, through top-down processes, the existing affordances to discover new uses of artifacts.
