Exploring a Marine Ecosystem with a General Complex Adaptive System Model

AAAI Conferences

The classic Lotka-Volterra equations present a mathematically robust and well-validated set of idealized equations for describing the predator-prey relationship found in many domains. Here we present results of formulating these equations using a Complex Adaptive Systems model, simulated using Agent-based Modeling techniques. This method allows for (a) closer study of the complex dynamics that are found in these systems, (b) greater understanding of the agent interactions, and (c) more realistic simulation outputs. In so doing, we have uncovered a novel relationship between the amount of resources found at the lowest tropic level of a hypothesized ecosystem and the highest tropic level predators. We explore these results in detail, and highlight their applicability to a real-world marine ecosystem.


Preface: Complex Adaptive Systems

AAAI Conferences

Complex systems are found all around us. Companies, societies, fields who study these complex systems using the tools and markets, and humans rarely stay in a stable, predictable techniques of complex adaptive systems. We will explore state for long. Yet all these systems are characterized phenomena related to resilience, robustness, and evolvability by the notable persistence of some key attributes across various disciplines as one avenue towards exposing which maintain their identities, even as their constituent common dynamics that are found in these disparate domains. In the past, knowledge gained in each domain about these - What is it about these systems that define their identity?

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence was pleased to present the 2009 Fall Symposium Series, held Thursday through Saturday, November 5–7, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia. The Symposium Series was preceded on Wednesday, November 4 by a one-day AI funding seminar. The titles of the seven symposia were as follows: (1) Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures, (2) Cognitive and Metacognitive Educational Systems, (3) Complex Adaptive Systems and the Threshold Effect: Views from the Natural and Social Sciences, (4) Manifold Learning and Its Applications, (5) Multirepresentational Architectures for Human-Level Intelligence, (6) The Uses of Computational Argumentation, and (7) Virtual Healthcare Interaction.

An informal reception was held on Thursday, November 5. A general plenary session, in which the highlights of each symposium were presented, was held on Friday, November 6. The challenge of creating a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind requires that we better understand at a computational level how natural intelligent systems develop their cognitive and learning functions. They will behave, variety of disjoined communities and schools of learn, communicate, and "think" as conscious thought that used to speak different languages and beings in general, in addition to being able to perform ignore each other.
