Intractable Conflict as an Attractor (2007, unknown): “This perspective has been employed to conceptualize and investigate complex, dynamic phenomena in many areas of science (Johnson, 2001; Strogatz, 2003; Weisbuch, 1992) from cancerous cellular mutations to global climate shifts.”
Understanding Learning Systems: Mathematics Education and Complexity Science. (2003, background): “As it turns out, across studies of complex learning systems, the former seems to be the less powerful of the two when it comes to efforts to prompt or to interpret intelligent behavior, especially with regard to social and cultural collectives (see Buchanan, 2000; Johnson, 2001; Varela, 1987).”
The new dynamics of strategy: sense-making in a complex and complicated world (2003, background): “The new science of complexity spawned by these findings is interdisciplinary, touching fields from mathematics to evolution to economics to meteorology to telecommunications.(15) In the domain of emergent order, the goal “to predict (and thereby control) the behavior of systems not yet studied (but ”

An Ecological Perspective on Leadership Theory, Research, and Practice (2005, unknown): “The ecological paradigm is based on ecological principles (Bronfenbrenner, 1979, 1979; Capra, 1996; Colarelli, 1998; Johnson, 2001; Katz & Kahn, 1978; Kelly, 1968, 1979; Mathews, White, & Long, 1999; J.

A systemic and cognitive view on collaborative knowledge building with wikis (2008, background): “Emergent knowledge has not been part of the individual’s knowledge before (for more elaborate detail on the phenomenon of emergence cf. Holland 1998 or Johnson 2001).”
The Ecology and Semiotics of Language Learning (2004, background): “It demonstrates the process of emergence, that is, structures such as ant colonies evolve a higher level of sophistication from lower-level rules (Johnson, 2001).”
The use and abuse of large-scale brain models. (2014, unknown): “The complementary concern with the bottom-up approach is its reliance on the often mysterious notion of ‘‘emergence’’ [36] to produce behavior.”

Social network analysis and the evaluation of leadership networks (2010, background): “Leadership networks are a response to a rapidly changing world that is increasingly interconnected — one requiring greater learning and collaboration for solving complex problems.”
A bonded-particle model for rock (2004, background): “Systems composed of many simple objects commonly exhibit behavior that is much more complicated than that of the constituents [77].”
Considering complexity in healthcare systems (2011, background): “An important behavioral outcome of interrelations, a sort of ‘‘non-decomposability of actions,’’ is that of emergence [8,9,16].”
