Understanding complex systems

Automatica, 1980
Abstract A system or a model is called complex when it contains such a great number of interconnected variables or elements that it is generally no longer possible to understand its global working without using simplified or condensed forms of the model.

Complexity and the Nervous System

Science, 1999
Advances in the neurosciences have revealed the staggering complexity of even “simple” nervous systems. This is reflected in their function, their evolutionary history, their structure, and the coding schemes they use to represent information. These four viewpoints need all play a role in any future science of “brain complexity.”

Indicators in Complex Systems

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1983
Previous contributions have already shown many interactions between air, water, soil, chemicals and biotic factors. When these interactions occur at one specific site they are called vertical relationships. Besides, there are the horizontal relationships between areas that are geographically apart, which have not been dealt with extensively in this ...

On the Complexity of Software Systems

Computer, 2012
Developing the tools necessary for reasoning about and understanding large, complex software systems requires interdisciplinary research that borrows from other domains where complexity similarly comes into play.

Complex Systems and Complex Adaptive Systems

2021
A system can be defined as “an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something” (Meadows 2009). It is a global and organized entity, made up of many different components, aimed at performing a certain function.

Foam as a complex system

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
What is a 'complex system'? The two-dimensional foam, as originally popularized by Cyril Stanley Smith, provides an ideal context in which to explore this question.

Complex Systems.

Intelligenza Artificiale, 2006
This paper deals with the interactions between the twoscientific communities of AI and Complex SystemsSciences. Theterm “complexity” is used since the 80’s to refer to alargely interdisciplinary endeavour, aimed atunderstanding common organizational and dynamicalproperties of nonlinear systems.The interactions between the two communities ofCSS and AI ...

Simplicial Complexes in Complex Systems

2020
A goal of writing a book is to introduce an alternative and rich mathematical framework, grounded on building simplicial complexes, for tackling the problems emerging from complex systems research. Another goal is to introduce alternative mathematical tools, based on the relationships between simplices, for discovering new, previously hidden, features ...

Dependability of a Complex System

Operations Research, 1962
In this paper the behaviour of a complex system consisting of n components of constant failure rates λ1, λ2, …, λn and repair rates pit μ1, μ2, …, μn is examined. The probability that the system is operating at time t is obtained. Also the probability that it is in outage stage i at time t has been determined.

Galaxies as Complex Systems

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2003
... all for the want of a nail. English nursery rhyme Feedback is the essential property of multiphase models for the evolution of galaxies. In this review, we stress the generic behavior of toy models to highlight those features that are inevitable consequences of assumptions in the current catalog of galactic evolution calculations.
