Better and fulfilling healthcare at lower costs: The need to manage health systems as complex adaptive systems. [PDF]
F1000Res, 2019 Rising healthcare costs are major concerns in most high-income countries. Yet, political measures to reduce costs have so far remained futile and have damaged the best interests of patients and citizen.

NL4Py: Agent-based modeling in Python with parallelizable NetLogo workspaces
SoftwareX, 2021 External control of agent-based models is vital for complex adaptive systems research. Often these experiments require vast numbers of simulation runs and are computationally expensive.

Conceptualizing Climate Vulnerability in Complex Adaptive Systems
One Earth, 2020 This Perspective develops a novel approach for assessing the vulnerability of complex adaptive systems to climate change. Our characterization focuses on the dynamic nature of vulnerability and its role in developing differential risk across multi ...

The implications of complexity for humanitarian logistics: a complex adaptive systems perspective
Annals of Operations Research, 2020 In this study we argue that recognising humanitarian logistics (HL) as a complex system is a key step in developing supply chain design and management strategies that meet the needs of stakeholders.

Decentralization and heterogeneity in complex adaptive systems [PDF]
Kybernetes, 2015 Purpose– Following a bacterial-based modeling approach, the authors want to model and analyze the impact of both decentralization and heterogeneity on group behavior and collective learning. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– Inspired by bacterial conjugation, the authors have defined an artificial society in which ...

Emergence and Growth of Complex Networks in Adaptive Systems [PDF]
, 1998 We consider the population dynamics of a set of species whose network of catalytic interactions is described by a directed graph. The relationship between the attractors of this dynamics and the underlying graph theoretic structures like cycles and ...

The social dynamics of basins of attraction
Ecology and Society, 2021 In this paper we conceptualize transformations as societal shifts from one basin of attraction to another. Such shifts occur when a society's information processing system is no longer fit to deal with the dynamics with which the society is involved.
