Complex adaptive systems : an introduction to computational models of social life /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This book provides the first clear, comprehensive, and accessible account of complex adaptive social systems, by two of the field's leading authorities. Such systems--whether political parties, stock markets, or ant colonies--present some of the most intriguing theoretical and practical challen...
