Modeling Vigilance Performance as a Complex Adaptive System

Current cognitive models not only lack flexibility and realism, they struggle to model individual behavior and reduced performance. We propose that reduced human performance can be best modeled as a complex adaptive system. We built a multi-agent model “Reduced Human Performance Model (RHPM)” as a proof of principle. The simulation system realistically simulates the reduction of vigilance that ...

Modeling reduced human performance as a complex adaptive system

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. Official reference: Steels, L. (2000) Language as a complex adaptive system. Lecture Not...

Innovation as a complex adaptive system

The Economy as a Complex Adaptive System

This chapter argues that the economic system is best perceived as a complex adaptive system, and as such, the traditional analytical methods of economics are not optimal for its study. Agent-based computational economics (ACE) studies the economic system from the bottom up and recognizes interaction between autonomous agents as the central mechanism in generating the self-organizing features of...
