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.

Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice, 2019
The notion of effectual networks is one of the central concepts in the effectuation research. However, there has been little conceptual and empirical work on how they emerge and what structures they have.

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

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 ...

Health Care Organizations as Complex Adaptive Systems.
Health Care Supervisor, 2019Health care organizations that deliver health care to a population are a major constituent of health care systems in many countries. Although some of the components of a health care organization may function as a simple or complicated system where ...

The various groups at the Santa Fe Institute studying complex adaptive systems (CAS) have somewhat different points of view and have adopted different vocabularies. Some of us speak of "artificial life" or "artificial social life" or "artificial worlds," while others, of whom I am one, prefer to consider natural CAS and computer-based systems ...

Nowadays and in the near future, the complexity of computer applications is exponentially increasing. This complexity comes from the inherent properties of such applications: the great number of their involved components, the distribution of their control and skills, the nonlinearity of their process and their increasing openness.

Language as a Complex Adaptive System
2000The 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, self-organisation, selectionism, co-evolution through structural coupling, and level formation.
