Towards Self-organizing Bureaucracies

This paper proposes self-organization as a method to improve the efficiency and adaptability of bureaucracies and similar social systems. Bureaucracies are described as networks of agents, where the main design principle is to reduce local “friction” to increase local and global “satisfaction”. Following this principle, solutions are proposed for improving communication within bureaucracies, se...

Emergent Semantics: Towards Self-Organizing Scientific Metadata

Tasked with designing a metadata management system for a large scientific data repository, we find that the customary database application development procedure exhibits several disadvantages in this environment. Data cannot be accessed until the system is fully designed and implemented, specialized data modeling skills are required to design an appropriate schema, and once designed, such schem...

Towards a quantum universe

In this short review we study the state of the art of the great problems in cosmology and their interrelationships. The reconciliation of these problems passes undoubtedly through the idea of a quantum universe.

Towards a Fractal Universe

In this short review we study the state of the art of the great challenge of contemporary physics which is reconcile Quantum Theory and its best contribution the Standard Model of Particle Physics and General Relativity. The reconciliation passes undoubtedly through the idea of a fractal universe. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 83F05. Secondary 83C45
