          "SIMPLICITY, COMPLEXITY, AND COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS"

What makes one landscape or one work of art more complex than another?
Are there different kinds of complexity?  How is complexity related to
information?  Is the fundamental description of the universe simple?  If
so, why does the world around us appear so complex?  How much of that
apparent complexity is genuine?  What level of complexity is required for
a system to be able to learn or adapt?  Are there general principles that
characterize complex adaptive systems?  The new sciences of complexity
have begun to deal with such questions.
