Journal ArticleDOI

An empirical method for modelling and simulating some complex macroscopic phenomena by cellular automata

TL;DR: An empirical method applied with interesting results in modelling and simulating some complex macroscopic phenomena seems to satisfy the applicability conditions of such an empirical method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic network models and statistical properties of gene expression data in knock-out experiments.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that the distributions of avalanches and susceptibilities of the RBN models are close to those observed in actual experiments performed with S. cerevisiae, and might be "generic" properties, common to a wide range of genetic models and real genetic networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why a simple model of genetic regulatory networks describes the distribution of avalanches in gene expression data.

TL;DR: The reason why a simple random Boolean network model, with two input connections per node, can describe with a good approximation the distribution of perturbations in gene expression levels induced by the knock-out of single genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is addressed.

Complex systems and cognitive processes

Roberto Serra, +1 more
TL;DR: This book shows that the science of complex systems, which stresses the importance of self-organizing processes, can make a decisive contribution to solving many problems in artificial intelligence.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the dynamics of random Boolean networks subject to noise: attractors, ergodic sets and cell types.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Threshold Ergodic Sets so defined are robust with respect to noise and, at the same time, that they do not suffer from a major drawback of ergodic sets.
