Studying Complex Adaptive Systems
Complex adaptive systems (cas) – systems that involve many components that adapt or learn as they interact – are at the heart of important contemporary problems. The study of cas poses unique challenges: Some of our most powerful mathematical tools, particularly methods involving fixed points, attractors, and the like, are of limited help in understanding the development of cas. This paper sugg...

متن کاملComplex Adaptive Systems
E Abstract The study of complex adaptive systems, a subset of nonlinear dynamical systems, has recently become a major focus of interdisciplinary research in the social and natural sciences. Nonlinear systems are ubiquitous; as mathematician Stanislaw Ulam observed, to speak of "nonlinear science" is like calling zoology the study of "nonelephant animals" (quoted in Campbell et al. 1985, p. 374...
متن کاملA new sociotechnical model for studying health information technology in complex adaptive healthcare systems.
BACKGROUND Conceptual models have been developed to address challenges inherent in studying health information technology (HIT). METHOD This manuscript introduces an eight-dimensional model specifically designed to address the sociotechnical challenges involved in design, development, implementation, use and evaluation of HIT within complex adaptive healthcare systems. DISCUSSION The eight ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Daisyworld models: A new approach to studying complex adaptive systems
Keywords: Mathematical modelling Complex adaptive system Evolutionary algorithm Daisyworld Cmasispecies This paper presents a model of a population of error-prone self-replicative species (replicators) that interact with its environment. The population evolves by natural selection in an environment whose change is caused by the evolutionary process itself. For simplicity, the environment is des...
