Land Forces 2016: Claudia Szabo to discuss research ideas during Pitching Event
Claudia Szabo, the Complex Systems project leader will be pitching research ideas during the Land Forces 2016 conference. Come and find her to discuss ways of best modeling human interactions (both in person and online) in areas of conflict, to best identify emerging unwanted behaviors! The work builds on the group’s modeling of complex systems […]

The best metrics for identifying self-organisation
Self-organisation is one of the key properties of complex systems yet automated tools to identify it have yet to be applied to systems other than toy models such as the Game of Life. Lachlan’s work is looking at implementing system complexity, Chan’s interaction metric, limited bandwidth recognition, de-centralised emergence detection and multi-scale Shannon entropy. His experiments […]

WSC 2016: CASL: A DECLARATIVE DOMAIN SPECIFIC LANGUAGE FOR MODELING COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS
Lachlan’s paper proposing a modeling language for complex adaptive systems has been accepted to WSC 2016! Abstract: Complex adaptive systems (CAS) are ubiquitous across many domains, such as social networks, supply chains, and smart cities. Currently, the modeling and analysis of CAS relies on adapting techniques used for multi-agent simulation, an approach which lacks several features […]
