As complex dynamic systems, urban landscapes emerge from the local interactions of socioeconomic and biophysical agents and processes. These complex systems are highly heterogeneous, spatially nested, and hierarchically structured (Wu and David 2002). They are prototypical complex adaptive systems, which are open, nonlinear, and highly unpredictable (Levin 1998, Portugali 2000, Gunderson and Ho...

This paper describes how the recently developed self-modeling network modeling approach for multilevel organisational learning has been tested on applicability a real-world case of project-based organisation. The was able to successfully address this complex by designing third-order adaptive model. Doing this, as form further innovation three new features have added approach: recombination sele...

This paper contains a description of two experiments that have been done to test self organisation and cultural evolution as possible mechanisms for explaining the origins of language in general and the origins of phonological systems in particular. Using computer simulations of agents that try to communicate using speech sounds, together with a selectionist algorithm where successful phonemes ...

Background: It has been argued that the quality of daily interactions within organisations effects the wellbeing of both individuals and the broader organisation. Coaching for leadership development is one intervention often used to create organisation-wide changes in culture and wellbeing. Leadership style has been associated with employee stress and wellbeing. Coaching has also been shown to ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Problems of social responsibility higher education institution gain particular relevance not only due to changes in the content and conditions its functioning, but also transformation many fundamental tenets institutions' activities. The close relationship between concepts "corporate responsibility" "educational organisation" manifests itself as state for educational ...

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...
