Call for Proposals – Seminar Sinaia 2026: “Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity – Landmarks” – Graphs and diagrams
2026-03-14 08:00 - 17:00
In the previous post, the general topics related to built biocomplexity that are developed and studied within IUITCS were mentioned. We now have the pleasure of also presenting the graphs and diagrams related to this field, taken from the works of Prof. Dr. Yannerr Bar-Yam from the USA.
They are illustrating the complex systems analyzed within IUITCS: fundamental systems (physical and chemical), bio-cellular and biomolecular systems, physiological systems, organisms and populations, social and economic systems, engineering systems.
Essential characteristics: fields involved include Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Biology, Philosophy of Science and Epistemology; numerous components, nonlinearity, emergence, self-organization, dynamics far from equilibrium, multiscale behavior, sensitivity to initial conditions, adaptability, and the concept of the “Space of Experience”.
Prof. Dr. Yannerr Bar-Yam’s graphics and diagrams are presented as following:
Characteristics of complex systems/bio-systems

Representation of systems/bio-systems

State and phase space in dynamic bio-systems

Physical / biophysical systems

Complex adaptive bio-systems

Evolutionary bio-systems

Complex systems – biocomplex systems
