Complexity emerges in Open Systems Far From Equilibrium ?
Poincare, De Donder, Schroedinger
indicated the need
to extend thermodynamics
to Open Systems Far From Equilibrium.
Open Systems may receive Information
communicating with their Εnvironment.
Entropy S becomes the sum of
Internal Entropy SI and Entropy “Flow” SF
S = SI + SF
ΔS = ΔSI + ΔSF
ΔSI ≥ 0 the Internal Entropy (2nd Law)
Complex networks
Social networks
Web of Knowledge
What are the qualifying Features of Complex Systems? 1) Far From Thermodynamic Equilibrium Structures [Ilya Prigogine]
Complex Structures Self-Organize Dissipating Energy and/or Information!
2) Innovation
Complex Processes ⇔ Emergence-Creation of New Information
at each Stage Internal Time-Age Operator
Complex Processes are not boring !
3) Robustness
Complex Processes ⇔ Structurally Stable Processes
Why Complex Processes emerged in Nature !
4) High Interdependence of the Constituent Units
There is no constructive Way to represent the system
in terms of disentangled fragmented independent components
You cannot divide and conquer !
5) Distributed Non Local Processing

Interdependence?

The Networks of Life
Are neither Regular nor Random!

From Being to Becoming
Life operates between
The perfect predictable Crystals
and
The meaningless structuress Randomness
Study concrete Life Networks to identify
their qualifying features

2 new Networks were discovered!

Six Degrees of Separation
John Guare wrote the play
Six Degrees of Separation,
based on this concept.
Milgram (1967)
“Everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of
separation. Between us and everybody else on this planet. The president of the United
States. A gondolier in Venice… It’s not just the big names. It’s anyone. A native in a rain
forest. A Tierra del Fuegan. An Eskimo. I am bound to everyone on this planet by a trail
of six people…”

Web of Documents
• Analogy : a global file system • Primary objects : documents • Links between: documents (or sub-parts of) • Degree of structure in objects: fairly low • Semantics of content and links: implicit • Designed for: human consumption
Web 2.0
• Wikis • Blogs • Flickr • YouTube • MySpace • Facebook
Web 2.0
Web 2.0
DRAWBACKS : • No data integration.
• Impossible to run queries in multiple data sources . e.g. which diseases are related to the heart AND have a prevalence
>2% AND in 2010 there where >100 publications about them.

What is the Problem?
Consider a typical web page: Markup consists of:
rendering
information (e.g.,
font size and
colour)
Hyper-links to
related content
Semantic content is
accessible to humans
but not (easily) to
computers…

Inter- operability

managing Complexity
