ARC Complex Open Systems Research Network

复杂性是物理、生物和社会科学的共同前沿。该网络将通过五项通用的概念和数学主题活动将所有三门科学的专家联系起来。它将促进研究子系统如何自组织成新的紧急结构时，组装成一个开放的，非平衡的系统。成果将包括新技术和软件工具，以及对科学基本问题的更深入理解。该网络的一个基本功能将是向研究人员和最终用户介绍新的工具，并拓宽研究生的视野。

Complexity is the common frontier in the physical, biological and social sciences. This Network will link specialists in all three sciences through five generic conceptual and mathematical theme activities. It will promote research into how subsystems self-organise into new emergent structures when assembled into an open, non-equilibrium system. Outcomes will include new technologies and software tools and deeper understanding of fundamental questions in science. An essential function of the network will be introducing researchers end users to new tools and broadening the horizons of graduate students.
