QS World University Rankings - Topuniversities. Self-organization. Self-organization occurs in a variety of physical, chemical, biological, robotic, social and cognitive systems. Common examples include crystallization, the emergence of convection patterns in a liquid heated from below, chemical oscillators, swarming in groups of animals, and the way neural networks learn to recognize complex patterns. Overview[edit] The most robust and unambiguous examples[1] of self-organizing systems are from the physics of non-equilibrium processes.
Self-organization is also relevant in chemistry, where it has often been taken as being synonymous with self-assembly. The concept of self-organization is central to the description of biological systems, from the subcellular to the ecosystem level. There are also cited examples of "self-organizing" behaviour found in the literature of many other disciplines, both in the natural sciences and the social sciences such as economics or anthropology. Self-organization usually relies on three basic ingredients:[3] Physics[edit] European Master Programme in System Dynamics - a joint European study programme. Erasmus Mundus Erasmus Mundus is a comprehensive cooperative and mobility programme of the European Union. One of its goals is to establish Europe as a setting ‘par excellence’ for higher education worldwide.
