Donald Johanson, who discovered the 3. 18 million year old fossil hominid Lucy ( Australopithecus ) in Ethiopia, is also a professor at ASU, as well as George Poste, Chief Scientist for the Complex Adaptive Systems Initiative.

A way of modelling a Complex Adaptive System One of Hayek's main contributions to early complexity theory is his distinction between the human capacity to predict the behaviour of simple systems and its capacity to predict the behaviour of complex systems through modeling.

# Complex Adaptive Systems theory-Dutch scholar Jaap van Ginneken claims that contagion, convergence and emergent norms are just instances of the synergy, emergence and autopoiesis or self-creation of patterns and new entities typical for the newly discovered meta-category of complex adaptive systems.

Current usage of the term " complexity " in the field of sociology typically refers specifically to theories of society as a Complex Adaptive System ( CAS ).

Other than JASSS, Agent-based Models of any discipline are within scope of SpringerOpen journal " Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling " ( CASM ).

Recent work on the Modeling and simulation of Complex Adaptive Systems has demonstrated the need for combining agent-based and complex network based models.

Complex Adaptive System

Complex Adaptive Systems are characterised by a high degree of adaptive capacity, giving them resilience in the face of perturbation.

Recently SpringerOpen / BioMed Central has launched an online open-access journal on this topic " Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling " ( CASM ).

The Mind, The Brain, and Complex Adaptive Systems ( 1995 ).

This conference on " The Mind, the Brain, and Complex Adaptive Systems " brought together an unusual group of scientists including two Nobel laureates ( Murray Gell-Mann and Herbert A. Simon ) and produced new approaches to this frontier in addition to a book published by SFI.

The Modeling Complex Adaptive Behavior Project was headed by Daniel Venese and sponsored by MITRE's Center for Enterprise Modernization.

Information regarding The Modeling Complex Adaptive Behavior Project can be found in The MITRE Digest.

* New England Complex Systems Institute-Concepts: Butterfly Effect

The papers grouped under the category " The Structure of Complex Systems "– dealing with issues such as causal ordering, decomposability, aggregation of variables, model abstraction – are of general interest in systems modelling, not just in economics.

For example, Ilya Prigogine, of the Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the University of Texas, Austin, has studied emergent properties, suggesting that they offer analogues for living systems.
