Gianfranco Minati, Eliano Pessa

From Collective Beings to Quasi-Systems (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Introduces a general unified framework for dealing with topics such as dynamical structural coherence, emergence, disorder, hierarchical systems, system-environment relationships

Presents new approaches including meta-structures to model dynamical coherence in processes of emergence

Examines the question of equivalence/non-equivalence for system models

Autorenporträt

Gianfranco Minati, Mathematician, Founder and president of the Italian Systems Society (AIRS); Doctoral lecturer at the Polytechnic of Milan; Member of the scientific committee of Conferences and Systems Societies. He is author of 32 chapters in books; editor of 7 books and journals; author or co-author of 15 books; author of 30 articles and of academic publications. His current research interest focuses on 1) Modelling processes of emergence by using Meta-Structures; 2) the emerging of a post-Bertalanffy Systemics; 3) the Dynamic Usage of Models (DYSAM), Logical Openness; 4) Architecture and Design as the design of social meta-structures to influence processes of emergence in social systems.

Eliano Pessa, Theoretical Physicist, is actually Full Professor of General Psychology and Cognitive Modeling at the University of Pavia, Italy. He has already been Dean of the Department of Psychology and of the Inter-departmental Research Center on Cognitive Science in the same university. In the past he has been Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Faculty of Psychology. He is author or co-author of 10 books and of a large number of papers on scientific journals, books, proceedings of international conferences. His scientific research interests include: quantum theories of brain operation, computational neuroscience, artificial neural networks, models of emergence processes, quantum field theory, models of phase transitions in condensed matter, models of human memory and visual perception, models of decision making, models of statistical reasoning.

Rezensionen

"I have read this book with great interest. It motivates speculation on possible contributions that some of its concepts can make to the design of a formal approach to the dynamics of living systems. ... the book should inspire others to further revisit and develop this specific research approach." (Nicola Bellomo, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (4), December, 2019)
