Cliff Joslyn leads the Knowledge and Information Systems Science research team in the Modeling, Algorithms and Informatics (CCS-3) Group of the Computer, Computational, and Statistical Sciences Division at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. As an interdsiciplinary information scientist, Joslyn's work extends from order theoretical approaches to knowledge discovery and database analysis to include computational semiotics, qualitative modeling, and generalized information theory, with applications in computational biology, infrastructure protection, homeland defense, intelligence analysis, and defense transformation. 

Dr. Joslyn serves on the editorial boards  of the International Journal of General Systems, the Journal of Biosemiotics, and Advances in Complex Systems; is a reviewer for a number of other journals; an author of many scientific papers; a member of a number of scientific review committeesand an editor of the Principia Cybernetica project for the collaborative development of a systemic-evolutionary philosophy.
