Description for Advances In Self-Organizing Systems (Quantitative Methods in Communication)
Paperback. Examining self-organizing systems models that seek to explain the emergence of patterns of behavior in systems that are initially in a state of disorganization, this book presents a number of applications to contemporary communication theory. Editor(s): Barnett, George A.; Houston, Renee. Series: Quantitative Methods in Communication S. Num Pages: 336 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: GTC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). .
Traditionally, the open systems approach has been used to describe communication structures and processes. This book does not deal with social systems from this perspective. Rather it examines self-organizing systems models that seek to explain the emergence of patterns of behavior in systems that are initially in a state of disorganization. This volume examines the models currently under development - autopoiesis, catastrophe theory, fractal geometry, dissipative structures, complexity theory, cellular automata and artificial intelligence - and presents a number of applications to contemporary communication theory.
