Modularity : understanding the development and evolution of natural complex systems /
Experts from diverse fields, including artificial life, cognitive science, economics, developmental and evolutionary biology, and the arts, discuss modularity. Modularity--the attempt to understand systems as integrations of partially independent and interacting units--is today a dominant theme in t...
