Complex Adaptive Systems

Abstract

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 together. The latter include methods for adaptive computation as well as models and simulations of natural CAS.
