Dynamic self-organization in holonic multi-agent manufacturing systems
TL;DR: A two-dimensional self-organization mechanism was designed taking the behavioural and structural vectors into consideration, thus allowing truly evolutionary and reconfigurable systems to be achieved that can cope with emergent requirements.

The Initiation and Termination of Enduring Rivalries: The Impact of Political Shocks
Gary Goertz,Paul F. Diehl +1 more
TL;DR: The authors found that the beginning and end of enduring rivalries are closely related to the timing of large political shocks in the form of world wars, territorial changes, alterations in the international power distribution, civil wars, and national independences.

Punctuated Aggradational Cycles: A General Hypothesis of Episodic Stratigraphic Accumulation
Peter W. Goodwin,E. J. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the punctuated aggradational cycles (PAC) hypothesis for the stratigraphic record, which consists of small-scale (1-5 m thick) shallowing-upward cycles separated by surfaces marked by abrupt change to deeper facies.

The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection: A Hierarchical Expansion
TL;DR: It is asserted that the development of a unified theory of evolution demands the recognition and incorporation of hierarchical structure as a conceptual foundation through extensions of Price's formula.

Technological pre-adaptation, speciation, and emergence of new technologies: how Corning invented and developed fiber optics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how established firms innovate and even initiate new technological trajectories, using a longitudinal case study of Corning's invention and development of fiber optics technology.
