One other area of prime interest to my research is the understanding of complexity and complex dynamical systems. I have made several contributions in complex system research over the years, but recently turned my attention to the use of intelligent autonomous agents for monitoring and control of distributed and networked processes.
A special class of complex systems of interest to my research are the autocatalytic reactions that were introduced by Gray and Scott in 1983 and used as a paradigm for complex systems in isothermal conditions. I have introduced, with various collaborators, the concept of networks of multiple competing autocatalators existing and interacting in networks of reactors.
