To find out more about complex adaptive systems, try some of these resources:

• The Computational Laboratory for Complex Adaptive Systems. This site has a couple of CAS simulators that are pretty fun to play with, including a simluation where the agents play the classic Prisoner's Dillema game to determine optimal strategies.
• The Complex Adaptive Systems group at Argonne National Labs.
• If you're up to the challenge, try making your own CAS models with the free Swarm software platform, which can be downloaded here.
• Are you a social scientist interested in complex adaptive system modeling approaches to your discipline? This online book can help you get started.
• This page, by Craig Reynolds, features a neat agent-based simulation of bird-flocking behavior as a little Java applet. It's also got a ton of interesting links on CAS, artificial life, and more!

These are just a few links to get you started.

There is a ton of information available on the internet about complex adaptive systems, agent-based simulations, artificial life and many related topics.
