Modeling Complex Processes Through Nature-Analogous Methods

PD Dr. Christina Klüver, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Klüver, and Dr. Jörn Schmidt form the research group COBASC (Computer Based Analysis of Social Complexity). They developed numerous computer programs for the simulation and analysis of complex processes.
