Complex systems

Proceedings International Conference and Workshop on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems, 2002
Every organisation from the scale of whole countries down to small companies has a list of system developments which have ended in various forms of disaster. The nature of the failures varies but typical examples are: cost overruns; timescale overruns and sometimes, loss of life.

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 ...

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.
