Professor Allen has worked for 25years on the mathematical modelling of change and innovation in urban, social, economic, financial and ecological systems, and the development of integrated systems models. He has written and edited several books and published well over 200 articles in a range of fields including ecology, social science, urban and regional science, economics, systems theory, and physics.

Steve Maguire,is Associate Professor of Strategy and Organization in the Faculty of Management at McGill University. He recently completed a comprehensive review (with Prof Bill McKelvey and PhD students Laurent Mirabeau and Nail Oztas) of the field of “Complexity Science and Organization Studies” which appears as a new commissioned chapter in the 2006 second edition of the our Handbook of Organization Studies. In addition, he co-edited (with Bill McKelvey) in 1999 a special issue of Emergence devoted to reviewing the plethora of books addressing “Complexity and Management”, and he has also authored several book chapters on the topic.

His book, Organizational Systematics (1982) remains the definitive treatment of organizational evolution and taxonomy.

Recently McKelvey co-edited Variations in Organization Science (1999) and a special issue of the journal, Emergence.
