Intelligent Complex Adaptive Systems   Active The universe is a massive system of systems -- for example, ecological systems, social systems, commodity and stock markets. These systems are complex, constantly adapting to their environment, and many are essential to the very existence of human beings. To fully understand these systems, complex adaptive systems research uses systemic inquiry to build multi-level and multidisciplinary representations of reality to study these systems.

Swarm Stability and Optimization   Active In this book it shows how to model and control a wide range of multi-agent dynamic systems and analyze their collective behavior using both stability theoretic and simulation based approaches.

Swarm Robotics from Biology to Robotics   Active Our goal is as follows: build a suite/swarm of (very) small robots that can search a room for a “target”. We envision that the robots will be about the size of a quarter dollar, or smaller, and have a sensor or sensors that “sniff” out the desired target. For example, the target could be a bomb and the robot sensors would be a chemical detectors that can distinguish the bomb from its surroundings. Or the target could be a radiation leak and the sensors would be radiation detectors. In each search scenario, we assume that the target gives off a diffuse residue that can be detected with a sensor.

Complex and Adaptive Dynamical Systems: A Primer (Springer: Complexity) [Paperback]   Active The book gives a complete description of the applications of the chaos theory. Those facts is related to the genethics, cellular automata and networks. The quantity of arguments don't allow a mathematical explication apted to understand the proof, but it is a very interesting view about all the modern applications of mathematics

Complex adaptive systems: an introduction to computational models of social life   Active This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies--present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challenges confronting the social sciences. Engagingly written, and balancing technical detail with intuitive explanations, Complex Adaptive Systems focuses on the key tools and ideas that have emerged in the field since the mid-1990s
