Phase Transitions in Random Boolean Networks with Different Updating Schemes
Carlos Gershenson
In this paper we study the phase transitions of different types of Random Boolean networks. These differ in their updating scheme: synchronous, semi-synchronous, or asynchronous, a…
Self-organizing Traffic Control: First Results
Carlos Gershenson
We developed a virtual laboratory for traffic control where agents use different strategies in order to self-organize on the road. We present our first results where we compare the…
Artificial Neural Networks for Beginners
Carlos Gershenson
The scope of this teaching package is to make a brief induction to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for people who have no previous knowledge of them. We first make a brief introd…
Introduction to Chaos in Deterministic Systems
Carlos Gershenson
The scope of this teaching package is to make a brief introduction to some notions and properties of chaotic systems. We first make a brief introduction to chaos in general and the…
Time-scales, Meaning, and Availability of Information in a Global Brain
Carlos Gershenson, Gottfried Mayer-Kress, Atin Das +2
We note the importance of time-scales, meaning, and availability of information for the emergence of novel information meta-structures at a global scale. We discuss previous work i…
Conferences with Internet Web-Casting as Binding Events in a Global Brain: Example Data From Complexity Digest
A. Das, G. Mayer-Kress, C. Gershenson +1
There is likeness of the Internet to human brains which has led to the metaphor of the world-wide computer network as a `Global Brain'. We consider conferences as 'binding events'…
On the Notion of Cognition
Carlos Gershenson
We discuss philosophical issues concerning the notion of cognition basing ourselves in experimental results in cognitive sciences, especially in computer simulations of cognitive s…
Contextual Random Boolean Networks
Carlos Gershenson, Jan Broekaert, Diederik Aerts
We propose the use of Deterministic Generalized Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks [Gershenson, 2002] as models of contextual deterministic discrete dynamical systems. We show th…
When Can we Call a System Self-organizing?
Carlos Gershenson, Francis Heylighen
We do not attempt to provide yet another definition of selforganization, but explore the conditions under which we can model a system as self-organizing. These involve the dynamics…
