Institute for the Study of Complex Systems (ISCS)

A research organization in Palo Alto, California, USA, that specializes in evolutionary/functional approaches to complexity. The director of the ISCS is Peter A. Corning, Ph.D., who is known especially for his work on the causal role of synergy in evolution, most notably in his book "The Synergism Hypothesis" (McGraw-Hill, 1983), and in a number of more recent publications. Current work at the Institute also includes a new approach to the relationship between thermodynamics and biology called "thermoeconomics," and a new, cybernetic approach to information theory called "control information."
