Course
Description
Self-organization is a process where the organization of a system
spontaneously increases. The effect of the environment is
minimal. New, emergent properties appear. Emergence
is a property of complex adaptive systems; ant colonies, networks of
neurons, the immune system, the Internet, and the global economy are a
few examples where the behavior of the whole is much more complex than
the behavior of the parts. This course will cover those and
similar topics in an instructor lead, self-exploratory manner.
