✦ Synopsis

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is based upon the idea that complex behavior can develop spontaneously in certain many-body systems whose dynamics vary abruptly. Researchers have observed characteristic general behavior in systems as diverse as earthquakes, sandpiles, and even biological evolution, and have suggested SOC as a way of understanding this behavior. This book is a clear and concise introduction to the field of self-organized criticality and contains an overview of the main research results.

The termite architecture model of O'Toole et'al. (1999) is extended to incorporate arbitrary halting time-scales. It is shown that this also means that the assumption of synchronous building must be relaxed. Numerical simulations show that ordered nest architecture emerges under a wide range of time
