Description for Complex Artificial Environments
Hardback. Explores the possibilities of applying the theories of complexity and self-organization developed to account for various phenomena in the natural science to artifacts traditionally the realm of humanities and social sciences. This volume emphasises on the development of cities and the impact of these methods on urban simulation methods. Editor(s): Portugali, Juval. Num Pages: 340 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RPC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 1450.
Juval Portugali The notion of complex artificial environments (CAE) refers to theories of c- plexity and self-organization, as well as to artifacts in general, and to artificial - vironments, such as cities, in particular. The link between the two, however, is not trivial. For one thing, the theories of complexity and self-organization originated in the “hard” science and by reference to natural phenomena in physics and bi- ogy. The study of artifacts, per contra, has traditionally been the business of the “soft” disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The notion of “complex artificial environments” thus implies the supposition that ... Read more

Reviews for Complex Artificial Environments
From the reviews: "The book represents the current state of thinking in the use of complex systems theory with geospatial technologies for understanding cities. It is organized into five coherent parts. … the book as a whole a unique reference source. In summary, Portugali’s book can be valuable for researchers who deal with the modeling ... Read more
