Introduction

Got interested in complex systems studies 20 years ago following the likes of Santa Fe Institute, WESS, Principia Cybernetica and Wolfram. Attended first Australian Complex Systems Conference in Canberra in 1992. Check my Memes page for more.

How have you used complexity concepts at work?

I wish! I've spent 20 years trying to meld them in, but beyond the general understandings I cannot demonstrate direct application. However I have done bursts of unfunded research, and hang out at MASCOS and the NKS Forum when I can.

What Tony Smith is saying about this Meetup Group

Networking. Inspiration. Interesting stories. Informed feedback. A chance to keep projects ticking. Chipping away at issues which are not accessible to over-specialised reductionist approaches.
