Complex systems
Complex systems present problems both in mathematical modelling and philosophical foundations. The study of complex systems represents a new approach to science that investigates how relationships between parts give rise to the collective behaviors of a system and how the system interacts and forms relationships with its environment.[1] Such systems are used to model processes in computer science, biology,[2] economics, physics, chemistry,[3] and many other fields. It is also called complex systems theory, complexity science, study of complex systems, sciences of complexity, non-equilibrium physics, and historical physics. A variety of abstract theoretical complex systems is studied as a field of mathematics. The key problems of complex systems are difficulties with their formal modelling and simulation.

Some External Pointers to the Toolkit This toolkit is referenced at various web sites. The SimAgent toolkit (originally called SIM_AGENT) provides a range of resources for research and teaching related to the development of interacting agents in environments of various degrees and kinds of complexity. For example the main motivation behind the development of SimAgent was originally to support research on an increasingly complex sequence of agent types, that led to the development of the biologically inspired CogAff architecture Schema depicted in the image below, showing layers of sophistication superimposed on different types of functionality represented by the columns: Pop-11 and Poplog
The Measuring Quality Inventory
This web site provides an inventory of resources designed to assist higher education faculty and staff in the challenging task of assessing academic and support programs as well as institutional effectiveness, more broadly. The items in this inventory are divided into four categories: instruments (examinations, surveys, questionnaires, etc.); software tools and platforms; benchmarking systems and data resources; projects, initiatives and services. They can be searched using keywords or through a set of filters that include the unit of analysis, the targeted level of assessment, and the subject of measurement. This inventory is an update to the monograph, “Measuring Quality: Surveys and Other Assessments of College Quality” (Borden & Owens, 2001), published jointly by the American Council on Education and the Association for Institutional Research. The original volume included information about 26 assessment instruments (mostly examinations and surveys).

The Wisdom of Crowds
The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations, published in 2004, is a book written by James Surowiecki about the aggregation of information in groups, resulting in decisions that, he argues, are often better than could have been made by any single member of the group. The book presents numerous case studies and anecdotes to illustrate its argument, and touches on several fields, primarily economics and psychology. The opening anecdote relates Francis Galton's surprise that the crowd at a county fair accurately guessed the weight of an ox when their individual guesses were averaged (the average was closer to the ox's true butchered weight than the estimates of most crowd members, and also closer than any of the separate estimates made by cattle experts).[1] Types of crowd wisdom[edit] Surowiecki breaks down the advantages he sees in disorganized decisions into three main types, which he classifies as

FEMTO - Cours, simulations, expérimentations
Vous êtes étudiant en physique, enseignant ou en passe de l'être dans ce domaine à moins que ce soit en amateur éclairé que vous vous présentez ici ? Bienvenue ! ce site est pour vous. Femto est un projet tourné vers l'enseignement de la physique dans l'enseignement supérieur et propose de nombreuses ressources dans ce domaine. Pour en savoir plus, FEMTO, le projet . Afin de faciliter votre recherche, le site dispose d'une menu horizontal qui permet de trouver des ressources classées par matière et d'un bandeau latéral qui met en lumière les articles récents classés par type. Ca va mieux en le disant Il n'est pas inutile de rappeler que la physique n'est pas seulement une discipline qui s'enseigne tel un dogme. La science recule les frontières et enrichit nos vies, ouvre notre imagination et nous libère des servitudes de l’ignorance et de la superstition.
Beyond X PRIZE: The 10 Best Crowdsourcing Tools and Technologies
Peter Diamandis explaining X PRIZE economics. (Photo: Hubert Burda) Dr. Peter H. Diamandis is the Chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, and co-Founder and Chairman of the Singularity University, a Silicon Valley based institution partnered with NASA, Google, Autodesk and Nokia. He’s no underachiever. I’ve known Peter for several years, both as a friend and as advising faculty at Singularity University. The following guest post offers an optimistic look at the tools and technologies he believes will change this world for the better, which you can harness. In it, Diamandis and co-author Kotler challenge us all to solve humanity’s grand challenges. I hope this excites you as much as it excites me.
