- Globalization, typical of the present age, is the double-edged sword: it has indeed accelerated the benefits of our daily lives, whereas it has often decreased the adaptive capacity due to the latent interdependencies among different kinds of complex systems such as biological, economic, and ecological systems. Most of the challenges that confront us emerge at a different kind of boundary: the one where human and nonhuman system like technical, financial, ecological, or social system interact (Zolli, 2012). As human and nonhuman systems are coupled, the output of one system influences the other in complex ways. We could, therefore, hardly trace the chain of causality at work. Even a better understanding of the individual systems involved could not help us imagine how information, resources, and humans’ behaviors flow through many complex systems. Although these systems diverse at their edges, they seem to be simple enough at their core. We are, thus, encouraged to realize that even though the details are always different, certain features of the challenges are remarkably consistent. In our time, we have often been asking the same question: what characteristics make a whole system adaptive to change? It is characteristics of Life itself that must be understood for answering such a common question. It is now time to integrate different concepts, models, and theories among diverse disciplines into a single coherent framework. The present international and interdisciplinary workshop will deal with many different multidisciplinary topics, and search for the simple solutions to the challenging problems.
