Traditionally, the open systems approach has been used to describe
communication structures and processes. This book does not deal
with social systems from this perspective. Rather it examines
self-organizing systems models that seek to explain the emergence
of patterns of behavior in systems that are initially in a state of
disorganization. This volume examines the models currently under
development - autopoiesis, catastrophe theory, fractal geometry,
dissipative structures, complexity theory, cellular automata and
artificial intelligence - and presents a number of applications to
contemporary communication theory.
