Abstract Self-adaptive systems (SASs) have the capability to evaluate and change their behavior according changes occurring in environment. Research this field is being held since mid-60, over last decade, importance of self-adaptivity increased. In proposed research, colored petri nets (CPN) formal language used model self-adaptive multiagent system. CPN increasingly complex concurrent due its...

Complex adaptive systems are where those managing the system, agents, interact with other competing agents and key resources available to system. The behaviour of constantly changing over time thus resulting in complex evolving problem configurations. Managing such a system can be very challenging, particularly when attempting manage rather than simplify complexity. One particular is need take ...

The emerging field of morphogenetic engineering proposes to design complex heterogeneous system focused on the paradigm of emergence. Necessarily at the interface of disciplines, its concepts can be defined through multiple viewpoints. This contribution aims at linking a coevolutionary perspective on such systems with morphogenesis, and therein at bringing a novel conceptual approach to the bot...

Economies are open complex adaptive systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and neo-classical environmental economics seems not to be the best way to describe the behaviour of such systems. Standard econometric analysis (i.e. time series) takes a deterministic and predictive approach, which encourages the search for predictive policy to ‘correct’ environmental problems. Rather, it seems tha...

More than 30 years have passed since the first enterprise architecture (EA) management framework has been published. While the field has reached a certain maturity in science and practice, a paradigm shift is just beginning. The emerging trend to regard an enterprise as complex adaptive system might allow redefining and achieving the holistic nature of EA management approaches. Thereby, the foc...

A list of the most relevant publications on complex, evolving systems is produced by counting the number of times each publication is cited in a collection of texts on the domain. The importance of these books and papers is summarized by noting the main contribution to the field of their authors, categorized by the research tradition they originated from. These include biology, physics, chemist...

We argue that socio-technical systems can be understood as complex adaptive systems, that is, systems containing component sub-systems interacting such that they co-evolve This viewpoint may allow us to understand more clearly the factors that underlie the complexities of socio-technical systems, and allows for a new approach to systems design predicated on unpredictable adaptive processes. Sys...

I offer here a new theory of moral agency –why people are ethical, why they are not, and how to get them to be more ethical. I look broadly at evidence from the new brain sciences, systems theory, and Spinoza’s philosophy to address the question. Spinoza’s vision of the infinitely expansive boundaries of the self as we progressively take in and embrace the world, and also extrude ourselves into...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of complex adaptive systems (CAS) from the perspective of managing organizations, to describe and explore the management principles in a case study of an organization with unconventional ways of management and to present a tentative model for managing organizations as CAS – system management. There is a need for the development of kn...

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
