Complex Adaptive Systems
Complex Adaptive Systems Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) consist of elements whose collective dynamics exhibit emergent properties. That is, the interactions between the elements lead to new properties [...] CAS is the brain. It contains a network of many non-linear, coupled elements, i.e. neurons. The collective neuronal activity allows for adaptive processes like learning and perception which are elementary [...] Developing a theory for the emergence of diversity in evolution Understanding the emergence of collective behaviour and extreme events in economical systems Uncovering the mechanisms leading to the particular
