Cancer as a complex adaptive system
Medical Hypotheses, 1996The second leading cause of death in the USA is cancer. Institutions worldwide are devoting significant resources to the treatment of cancer, and the elucidation of the disease pathway. While great progress has been made in understanding and treating carcinogenesis, many aspects of the disease remain intractable.

In order for practicing consultants to continue to be of value in the gig economy, it is important to understand that digital platforms operate as complex systems with various functions that deviate from traditional laws of business. This deviation creates challenges and opportunities for management consultants to position themselves as valuable to the

Complex Systems and Complex Adaptive Systems
2021A system can be defined as “an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something” (Meadows 2009). It is a global and organized entity, made up of many different components, aimed at performing a certain function.

The Web and Complex Adaptive Systems
20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Volume 1 (AINA'06), 2006The web continues to grow at a phenomenal rate and the amount of information on the web is overwhelming. Finding the relevant information remains a big challenge. Due to its wide distribution, its openness and high dynamics, the WWW is a complex system, for which we have to imagine mechanisms of content maintaining, filtering and organizing that are ...

Is Echo a Complex Adaptive System?
Evolutionary Computation, 2000We evaluate whether John Holland's Echo model exemplifies his theory of complex adaptive systems. After reviewing Holland's theory of complex adaptive systems and describing his Echo model, we describe and explain the characteristic evolutionary behavior observed in a series of Echo model runs.

Discovery in complex adaptive systems
Cognitive Systems Research, 2018Abstract The distinction between ontological ground-truth phenomena and epistemic measurements of those phenomena is discussed and analyzed in the context of complex cognitive systems research. A common style of computational simulation is identified as a Dissect-the-Simulation motif.

Modeling Malaria as a Complex Adaptive System
Artificial Life, 1997As the resistance of the malaria parasite to antimalarial drugs continues to increase, as does that of the malarial mosquito to insecticides, the efficacy of efforts to control malaria in many tropical countries is diminishing. This trend, together with the projected consequences of climate change, may prove to exacerbate substantially the ...

Complex adaptive systems and nursing
Nursing Inquiry, 2007Complex adaptive systems and nursingThere have been numerous references to complexity theory and complex systems in the recent healthcare literature, including nursing. However, exaggerated claims have (in my view) been made about how they can be applied to health service delivery, and there is a widespread tendency to misunderstand some of the ...

Adaptation, Complexity, and Complex Adaptive Systems
2018Adaptation is inherent in all biological organisms and societal systems, and provides the means for assuring the fitness and survival of any biological species or society in a given environment. It was of primary concern by biologists and scientists over time and produced strong debates about its nature and impact on life evolution.

Modeling Complex Adaptive Systems
2009The paper describes ways to model systems that dynamically change as their environment changes. The generic term complex adaptive systems (Kovacs, 2005) is increasingly used to describe systems in such environments. Complex adaptive systems are generally defined (Holland, 1995) as made up of many agents (which may represent cells, individuals, firms ...
