The dissipative structures project is both a research project and a classroom project, it is aimed at providing example tools for the Brussels-Austin approach to complex systems science.
For an overview of this approach you may wish to consult: http://order.ph.utexas.edu/
So far there is one model in the dissipative structures project:
- (2012) Quantum Primordial Soup (Research area: Quantum Dissipative Structures and Quantum Computation): http://modelingcommons.org/browse/one_model/3436#model_tabs_browse_info
- (2012) Excitable Media (Research area: Dissipative Structures and Automata Theory):
