Workshop at the Conference on Artificial Life 2019
Process Modeling and Self-Organization: Methods and Applications
Newcastle Helix at Newcastle University, 29–30 July 2019
Topic Summary
We will discuss why and how process-based frameworks can be used to represent different kinds of interactions and the emergence of structures from such basic interactions in different domains. On the one hand, we will present lectures of foundational kind, i.e. explaining the basics of these frameworks as well as some relevant mathematical and algorithmic issues, and on the other hand we will present novel applications related to areas such as ecology, evolution, sustainability, and others.
Keywords: Reaction networks, Self-Organization, Autopoiesis, Knowledge integration, Molecular Logic, Structural evolution, etc.
