Toward a Unified Theory of the Human Ecosystem
INTRODUCTION In pursuit of a thorough, scientific understanding of the world around us, biological ecologists and social scientists have each worked within their own academic disciplines to develop a wide range of empirical studies, methods, and models to identify key drivers, processes, and controls that regulate human behavior and interactions with the environment. However, most studies have ...
متن کاملA Multiple-Paradigm System for Rangeland Pest Management
Polycultural agroecosystems, such as rangelands, are too complex and poorly understood to permit precise numerical simulation. Management decisions that depend on behavioral predictions of such ecosystems therefore require a variety of knowledge sources and reasoning techniques. Our approach to designing a computer system that provides advice concerning such ecosystems is to incorporate various...
متن کاملA Unified Paradigm of Organized Complexity and Semantic Information Theory
One of the most fundamental problems in science is to define quantitatively the complexity of organized matters, i.e., organized complexity. Although many measures have been proposed toward this aim in previous decades, there is no agreed upon definition. This paper presents a new quantitative definition of organized complexity. In contrast to existing measures such as the Kolmogorov complexity...
متن کاملA Unified Classification Ecosystem for Auctions
Auctions have known considerable and continuous growth during the last decades due to their interesting properties in price formation when the value of goods traded is not known or varies. The systematic research in the area of auctions has advanced considerably since William Vickrey’s seminal paper on 1961. Although earlier research has been based mainly on Microeconomics and Games Theory, rec...
