Description & Coverage
Description:

There are new and important advancements in today’s complexity theories in ICT and requires an extraordinary perspective on the interaction between living systems and information technologies. With human evolution and its continuous link with the development of new tools and environmental changes, technological advancements are paving the way for new evolutionary steps.

Complexity Science, Living Systems, and Reflexing Interfaces: New Models and Perspectives is a collection of research provided by academics and scholars aiming to introduce important advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, neural networks, and much more. This scholarly piece will provide contributions that will define the line of development in complexity science.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life
  • Bio-inspired Computation and Machines
  • Complexity and fractal geometry
  • Complexity and ICT
  • Evolutionary Algorithms in Economy
  • Living Complexities
  • Natural and Artificial Language
  • Neural Networks in Biomedicine
  • Robotics
  • Virtual Reality
Reviews & Statements

Contributors in psychology, physics, art therapy, and other fields explore complexity in the interface between living systems and information technology. Their topics include fractal geometry as a bridge between realms, exploring structural and dynamic properties of microtubules by means of artificial neural networks, the biotic logic of quantum processes and quantum computation, recurrence indicators for estimating characteristic size and frequency of spatial patterns, and a parametric generator for architectural and urban three-dimensional objects.
