A Complex Adaptive Systems Analysis of Productive Efficiency
Linkages between Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) thinking and efficiency analysis remain in their infancy. This research associates the basic building blocks of the CAS 'flocking' metaphor with the essential building block concepts of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Within a proposed framework DEA …

Modeling Complex Adaptive Systems and Complexity for Interactive Art
Complex System Sciences, as a field of research, has emerged in the past decade. It studies how parts of a system give rise to the collective behaviours of the system and how the system interacts with its environment. It approaches the question of how life on earth could have appeared by searching …

Complex adaptive systems based data integration : theory and applications
… integration are indicative of socio-cultural systems in general and are caused by some measurable attributes common in DDLs. This research's main contributions are: (1) a theory of data integration requirements to fully support automatic data integration from autonomous heterogeneous data …

Game-Theoretic Learning and Control for Resilience of Complex Adaptive Systems
Many dynamical systems nowadays fall into the category of the so-called cyber-physical systems (CPS). That is, they are systems of high complexity and heterogeneity, consisting of various digital and analog components that communicate with one another through multiple communication channels. For …

Identifying Complex Adaptive Systems Using Quantitative Approaches At A Midsized Biotechnology Firm
… Where hierarchical leadership models lapse, complexity theory and complexity leadership theory may provide an alternative leadership model for successful organizational adaptation. However, much of the research surrounding complexity theory remains academic. Historical data from a …

Large-Scale Simulations for Complex Adaptive Systems with Application to Biological Domains
Modeling or simulating Complex Adaptive Systems (CASs) is both important and challenging. As the name suggests, CASs are systems consisting of large numbers of interacting adaptive compartments. They are studied across a wide range of disciplines and have unique properties. They model such systems …

A Complex Adaptive Systems Approach to Personality and Social Psychology through Design Sciences
… of how these relationships are generated. A complex adaptive systems (CAS) approach offers a theoretical lens through which existing approaches can be understood from a generative perspective, in which relationships between variables emerge from interactions between biological, cognitive and …

Measuring Performance in Complex Adaptive Systems: An Agent-Based Approach to Managerial and Technological Change
… and measured by viewing the organization as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS), a dynamic network of socio-technical systems including people, teams, and technologies that continuously evolve and respond to change. To measure how well these systems perform over time, this research uses advanced …

An exploration of the development of a Network of Health Promoting Schools in the Mid-west region of Ireland 2005-2015: a complex adaptive systems approach.
… of leadership, collaborative working, change, systems theory and the concept of the Health Promoting School. The overarching conceptual framework of Complex Adaptive Systems is used to pull the different theories and models together. The research adopts a largely qualitative approach exploiting …

Robust Normativity in Complexity Science
… often do—and always should—reason about complex adaptive systems as if they were bound by normative standards that exist independently of (a) the scientists’ own normative commitments and (b) the actual features of the complex adaptive systems (including their normative commitments, if …

Architecting system of systems: artificial life analysis of financial market behavior
… in providing different ways of modeling sub-systems of System of Systems. At the same time, the framework should capture the adaptive behavior of the system since evolution is one of the key characteristics of System of Systems. Another objective is to design the framework so that humans can …

PERPETUAL NOVELTY
… the sculptural practice of Brian Caverly. From Complex Adaptive Systems to the world of order of Michel Foucault to the reexamination of the Modernist movement by Yve Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss, a rhizomatic path of connections and lines form and cross over, weaving together into a swarming …

Space-Time Experience in the Meta-Environment: A Cybersemiotic Analysis
… suggests potentially illuminating parallels with complex adaptive systems; and explores their theoretical and practical co-implications. Influenced by Marcel Duchamp’s conceptual-interactive art experiments, Brazil’s syncretic Tropicalismo movement, and Roy Ascott’s technoetic art, this thesis …

Intention, economic opportunity and their impact on venture creation
… economics, the theory of planned behavior and complex adaptive systems theory the essays integrate and extend existing theory, and break new ground in the study of “still trying” nascent entrepreneurs.

Policy design tool for managing indoor residential water demand in water-scarce regions
… plans. This has been attributed to the complex nature of modelling consumers’ participatory actions, leaving policy makers with unexpected outcomes from their demand management plans. In order to overcome this challenge and enable policy makers to understand the complex interactions …

The silent tsunami: addressing community college food insecurity in Texas
… food insecurity. The research was guided by complex adaptive systems theory and cynefin. Food insecurity among college students, especially community college students, continues to be a significant issue. Community colleges serve a diverse student population, including many low-income and …

Prolegomena to a postmodern theory of law
… to apply results from the sciences of chaos and complex adaptive systems to derive the elements of postmodernism from a mathematical perspective. This shows how systems can spontaneously construct knowledge and improve without assuming the possibility of perfect knowledge about social systems. I …
