The properties of the collection may not be understood or predicted from the full knowledge of its constituents alone. Such a collection is called a complex system and it requires new mathematical frameworks and scientific methodologies for its investigation. %G eng %U https://complexityexplained.github.io %R 10.17605/OSF.IO/TQGNW %0 Book Section %B Proceedings of the Artificial Life Conference 2016 %D 2016 %T Introduction %A Tom Froese %A J.

For its 15th edition in 2016, it was held in Latin America for the first time, in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico, from July 4 -8. The special them of the conference: How can the synthetic study of living systems contribute to societies: scientifically, technically, and culturally? The goal of the conference theme is to better understand societies with the purpose of using this understanding for a more efficient management and development of social systems. %B Complex Adaptive Systems %I MIT Press %C Cambridge, MA, USA %8 July %@ 9780262339360 %G eng %U https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/proceedings-artificial-life-conference-2016
