Time: Friday May 23, 14h-16h Place: *room D.1.07 * ------------------------------ A generic framework for resilience of complex adaptive systems <http://icube-bfo.unistra.fr/en/index.php/Pierre_Collet>*Shima Beigi <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/shima-beigi/4b/175/45> * (University of Bristol, UK) Abstract: In this presentation I attempt to introduce an integrated template for designing a resilient complex adaptive social-ecological and technical system. The framework is divided into three interlinked parts. The first part of the framework deals with the ‘Understanding of Resilience’. In this exploratory part, the concept of resilience is considered as a specific form of adaptation process that imposes a multidimensional load on a system and steers (i.e., challenges) the system toward enhancing its fitness level. The second part of the proposed theory is called ‘Manipulating Resilience as a Process’ and is mainly dealing with the understanding of nature of infrastructure systems and and the built environment to gain a deeper picture of reality of these complex adaptive and interdependent systems. The third part of the framework is called the ‘Manifestation of Resilient Properties’. Here, I discuss that resilience is a system level property. This means that the design of a resilient complex adaptive system requires a unit of analysis. It is after developing a unit of analysis that we can search for different ways and alternatives that can be used to tweak the built environment and infrastructure systems for the purpose of entraining the collective mind of social systems and hence formation of behavioural patterns that lead to the emergence of positive adaptation outcomes. ------------------------------ Upcoming Seminars *May 30* Mehdi Moussaid (Max Planck Institute for Human Development) *Social influence and collective opinion dynamics* *June 6* Petter Braathen *Linking Complexity Science and Strategic Management* *June 13* Alfonso Molina *Theories and Practice in an Emerging Physical/Virtual Environment for Social Innovation and Education for Life* *June 20 * Piet Holbrouck (ECCO) *Problem Solving and Paradigm Shifts* *June 27* Viktoras Veitas & David R.
