Course
Description
Self-organization is a process where the organization of a system
spontaneously increases. New, emergent properties appear.
Complex adaptive systems like 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 explore
in greater detail some elements of self-organization and emergence.
