Emergent states in virtual teams: a complex adaptive systems perspective

Research on virtual teams (VTs) has proliferated in the last decades. However, few clear and consistent theoretical attempts to integrate the literature on VTs in a systemic way have emerged. This paper uses the complex adaptive systems (CAS) perspective to integrate the literature on emergent states in VTs. According to this general framework, VT effectiveness depends on the interaction betwee...

Emergent contradictions: A synthesis of TRIZ and complex systems theory

The paper focuses on the identification and resolution of conflicts and contradictions in complex systems. By constructing simple, computerbased bottom-up models of an exemplar complex system, we show the potential for the emergence of multi-phase macro-level outcomes. We then show how these discontinuous phase-shifts may be modelled as contradictions, and from there, how TRIZ tools can be used...

Emergent organisation in complex biomolecular systems

Complexity and self-organisation are critical yet poorly understood phenomena. This project aims to develop and apply mathematical and computational approaches that will identify principles governing the emergent organisation of selforganising biomolecular systems. Computational methods for characterising the dynamics of these intrinsically complex processes will be developed and applied to pro...

Processing of Emergent Phenomena in Complex Systems

In this paper are described some properties of emergent phenomena and situations that appear in complex systems. The basic factors for the understanding to emergent processes are: the level of realization and the description of the emergent process, sharp change of the system structure (in our case represented by the violence of a structural invariant), a self-organizing phenomenon (that forms ...
