It is clear that computation is playing an increasingly prominent
role in the development of mathematics, as well as in the natural
and social sciences. The work of Stephen Wolfram over the last
several decades has been a salient part in this phenomenon helping
founding the field of Complex Systems, with many of his constructs
and ideas incorporated in his book A New Kind of Science (ANKS)
becoming part of the scientific discourse and general academic
knowledge--from the now established Elementary Cellular Automata to
the unconventional concept of mining the Computational Universe,
from today's widespread Wolfram's Behavioural Classification to his
principles of Irreducibility and Computational Equivalence. This
volume, with a Foreword by Gregory Chaitin and an Afterword by Cris
Calude, covers these and other topics related to or motivated by
Wolfram's seminal ideas, reporting on research undertaken in the
decade following the publication of Wolfram's NKS book. Featuring
39 authors, its 23 contributions are organized into seven parts:
Mechanisms in Programs & Nature Systems Based on Numbers &
Simple Programs Social and Biological Systems & Technology
Fundamental Physics The Behavior of Systems & the Notion of
Computation Irreducibility & Computational Equivalence
Reflections and Philosophical Implications.
