On Self-Organization [electronic resource] : An Interdisciplinary Search for a Unifying Principle / edited by R. K. Mishra, D. Maaß, E. Zwierlein

An introduction to self-organization, a concept at the heart of complex systems which describes how order can emerge from disorder in otherwise chaotic nonlinear dynamical systems. This study investigates the role of self-organization in a range of disciplines, including physics and biology.
