Complex Systems Group

 

Since 2000, we have been working in a multidisciplinary way, looking for the development of conceptual tools, models, and calculus techniques, in order to describe the dynamics of complex systems, relevant to areas that span from Biology to Economy, Sociology, etc.

Tools

There are three complementary tools, that play a key rol in our investigation:

  • Model of Adaptable Agents (that could match consumers in a comunication network, bacteria, companies in a market, etc.), that must adapt their behavor to optimize their outcome.
  • Game theory, due to its flexibility and simplicity to analize conflict situations between groups and individuals.
  • Statistical mechanics, du to its versatilty and calculus power when dealing with systems that involve many agents, and complex interactions.

Research fields.
