Law as a complex adaptive system: Path toward self-sustainability of legal framework

International environmental law as a complex adaptive system

Complex adaptive systems are a special kind of self-organizing system with emergent properties and adaptive capacity in response to changing external conditions. In this article, we investigate the proposition that international environmental law, as a network of treaties and institutions, exhibits some key characteristics of a complex adaptive system. This proposition is premised on the scient...

A Review on "Civil Law in Current Legal System"

بحث تنقیح قوانین و مقررات، از مباحثی است که درحال حاضر محافل علمی را بیش از پیش به خود مشغول کرده؛ و یکی از مباحث مهم تنقیح قوانین و مقررات، بررسی و تشخیص«نسخ ضمنی» مصوبات است. در این مقاله به گوشه‌هایی از مبحث نسخ (آن هم نه نسخ و تغییرات ضمنی، بلکه نسخ و تغییرات صریح)، اکتفا می‌شود. شاید تصور شود که نسخ، اصلاح و الحاق صریح معلوم است و نیازی به بیان آن نیست، اتفاقاً در این تحقیق، دایرة بحث، بیش...

Design of A Self-Tuning Adaptive Power System Stabilizer

Power system stabilizers (PSSs) must be capable of providing appropriate stabilization signals over abroad range of operating conditions and disturbances. The main idea of this paper is changing aclassic PSS (CPSS) to an adaptive PSS using genetic algorithm. This new genetic algorithm based onadaptive PSS (GAPSS) improves power system damping, considerably. The controller design issue isformula...

Language as a Complex Adaptive System

The paper surveys recent work on modeling the origins of communication systems in groups of autonomous distributed agents. It is shown that five principles gleaned from biology are crucial: reinforcement learning, selforganisation, selectionism, co-evolution through structural coupling, and level formation.
