Scaling in Biology
Häftad, 2000
1288 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Scaling relationships have been a persistent theme in biology at least since the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo. Because scaling relationships are among the most general empirical patterns in biology, they have stimulated research to develop mechanistic hypotheses and mathematical models. …
Swarm Intelligence
From Natural to Artificial Systems
Av Eric Bonabeau, Marco Dorigo m. fl.
Inbunden, 1999
3727 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Social insects--ants, bees, termites, and wasps--can be viewed as powerful problem-solving systems with sophisticated collective intelligence. Composed of simple interacting agents, this intelligence lies in the networks of interactions among individuals and between individuals and the environment. …

New Constructions in Cellular Automata
Av David Griffeath, Cristopher Moore
Häftad, 2003
1135 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book not only discusses cellular automata (CA) as accouterment for simulation, but also the actual building of devices within cellular automata. CA are widely used tools for simulation in physics, ecology, mathematics, and other fields. But they are also digital "toy universes" worthy of study …

Häftad, 2003
764 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Developed after a meeting at the Santa Fe Institute on extinction modeling, this book comments critically on the various modeling approaches. In the last decade or so, scientists have started to examine a new approach to the patterns of evolution and extinction in the fossil record. This approach …

Häftad, 2004
1518 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A great variety of complex phenomena in many scientific fields exhibit power-law behaviour, reflecting a hierarchical or fractal structure. Many of these phenomena seem to be susceptible to description using approaches drawn from thermodynamics or statistical mechanics, particularly approaches …
