Abstract

A general theory of change is proposed, based on a generalization of the theory of phase transitions used in physics. This theory accounts for a number of features characterizing emergence and self-organization processes occurring in different contexts such as physics, biology, economics, psychology

Processes of Emergence of Systems and Systemic Properties. Towards a general theory of emergence
MINATI G., ABRAM M., PESSA E:
The AI, Robotics & Automatic Control category is concerned with resources on the research and techniques of artificial intelligence; that is, the creation of machines that exhibit characteristics of human intelligence (e.g., efficient representation of knowledge, reasoning, deduction, problem solving, heuristics, and analysis of contradictory or ambiguous information). Related AI technologies include expert systems, fuzzy systems, natural language processing, speech and pattern recognition, computer vision, decision-support systems, knowledge-bases, and neural networks. Robotics resources are concerned with the design, construction, and operation of robots. Automatic Control resources cover the design and development of regulating processes and systems that replace the necessity of human intervention. Topics include adaptive control, robust control, discrete-event control, dynamic control, fuzzy control, and optimal control. Cybernetics resources are concerned with the control and communication within and between artificial (machine) systems and living or natural systems.
