Workshop 2 Description:
Workshop 2: Aspects of Self-Organization in Evolution
The purpose of this workshop is to examine the dynamics of adapting
systems in terms of their self-organizing property, that is, their
ability to spontaneously take on particular ordered, rather than
disordered states. This property plays a role at many different
levels: the molecular, viral, bacterial, network, and ecological.
We propose to organize the workshop according to the levels of description,
from molecular to trophic food webs. Topics will include self-organization
in the transition from nonliving to living, evolution on neutral
networks, evolution of biological complexity, adaptive radiation
in bacterial evolution, and stability of trophic networks.
