Could there be laws governing complex systems? Advances will require the right kinds of tools coupled with the right kind of intuition. However, the current engineering courses do not teach about self-organization, and few cover computer modelling experiments. Despite significant recent advances in our understanding of complex systems, the field is still in flux, and there is still is a lack of consensus as to where the centre is -- for some, it is exclusively cellular automata; for others it is networks. However, the landscape is bubbling with activity, and now is the time to get involved. Cowboy Up. |
