ITCS 6010/8010: Complex Adaptive Systems: Self-Organization

 

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.

Prerequisite: 9 hours of graduate credit in computer science, or software and information systems
