Though not the center of the universe at all, I would say that the
Systems Science and Industrial Engineering department at SUNY Binghamton
is a good candidate for what you are looking for. Though perhaps I
should say was... You still have George Klir, but Howard Pattee is now
officially retired, though he still teaches classes on Complex Systems
and Evolutionary Systems at the Philosophy department there. Besides,
there are a few other people around SUNY B. like Stan Salthe and David
Wilson at the Biology department, as well as Eileen Way and others at
the Philosophy of Computer and Cognitive Science that are interested in
similar topics. Warning: the department has been crumbling for a few
years now for several pragmatic reasons, so if you want to take
something out of there, do it soon. It is one of the few departments
that actually grants a PhD in Systems Science.
In any case, for such a distributed field, you need a distributed
degree... Fish here and there for what you are loking for.
Cheers,
Luis Rocha
