The idea is advanced that self-organization in complex systems can be treated as decision making (as it is performed by humans) and, vice versa, decision making is nothing but a kind of self-organization in the decision maker nervous systems. A mathematical formulation is suggested based on the...

In this paper, we provide an insight into the emergence of power-law and two-phase behavior in the financial market fluctuations by defining an analytical model for time evolution of stock share prices. The defined model can exhibit bimodal behavior in the supply-demand structure of the market....

This report grounds the cross-site systems domain evaluation approach in the system literature. It focuses on three aspects: (1) the system-based evaluation approach and theory of change, (2) core infrastructure concepts, and (3) system-based evaluation methods.

The Constitution of the United States empowers the Congress to pass copyright laws to promote knowledge creation in the society and more specifically scientific knowledge. Many interesting economic studies have been conducted on copyright law, but very little research has been done to study the...

Изменения во всех сферах деятельности человека под воздействием стремительного наступления информационных технологий требуют нового подхода к управлению...

These couple of pages discuss upon the retroactive influence (Systemic Retroactive game, or SyR) between people’s behaviour and environment. The latter is intended as physical environment (type of cities, climate, geography…), normative environment (laws), moral environment (religions,...

Recovering from unanticipated disasters is critical in today’s global market. This paper examines the effectiveness of popular recovery strategies used to address unpredictable disasters that derail supply chains. We create a formal model to portray dynamic operational performance among supply...

Many complex systems can be investigated using the framework of temporal networks, which consist of nodes and edges that vary in time. The community structure in temporal network contributes to the understanding of evolving process of entities in complex system. The traditional method on dynamic...

Noise is widely regarded as a residual category—the unexplained variance in a linear model or the random disturbance of a predictable pattern. Accordingly, formal models often impose the simplifying assumption that the world is noise-free and social dynamics are deterministic. Where noise...
