Embodiment and complex systems
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2001In agreement with the target article, we would like to point out a few aspects related to embodiment which further support the position of biorobotics. We argue that, especially when complex systems are considered, modeling through a physical implementation can provide hints to comprehend the whole picture behind the specific set of experimental data.

Journal of Nursing Management, 2005
The specific aim of this paper is to identify the causes underlying the growth in health care system complexity, discuss challenges nurse administrators face as a result of it and suggest strategies for better decision-making in complex system environments.

Complex Systems and Perception
2008This Chapter concludes Part II of the present Volume. Here the hypothesis of an internal model arises is needed at the aim to generate internal representations which enable the robot to reach a suitable behavior so as to optimize ideally arbitrary motivational needs.

Proceedings Eighth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems, 2005
The paper argues that a common design paradigm for systems is fundamentally flawed, resulting in unstable, unpredictable behavior as the complexity of the system grows. In this flawed paradigm, designers carefully attempt to predict the operating environment and failure modes of the system in order to design its basic operational mechanisms.

Mathematics and Complex Systems
Science, 2007Contemporary researchers strive to understand complex physical phenomena that involve many constituents, may be influenced by numerous forces, and may exhibit unexpected or emergent behavior. Often such “complex systems“ are macroscopic manifestations of other systems that exhibit their own complex behavior and obey more elemental laws.

Process and systems complexity
Proceedings International Conference and Workshop on Engineering of Computer-Based Systems, 2002This statement introduces the ECBS Complexity panel. It provides a framework for a debate on the complexity of the ECBS (engineering of computer based systems) process and its products. We attempt to address the questions of what constitutes complexity, how to measure it, and how to provide engineering techniques that can handle its effects.

The configuration of complex systems
1996Foundational work from logic and category theory is applied to the practical problem of constructing complex engineering systems from their component parts. System configuration involves keeping the history of system construction and is carried out by applying combinators to recursively defined system components.

An architecture for complex systems
1997We demonstrate that both a logical and a mathematical approach is required to design an architecture which describes precisely the construction of complex systems. The key advantage of our architecture is that it not only describes the construction of hierarchical systems in a precise way, but that it also expresses the operations that carry out the ...

An understanding of language as a complex system helps us to think differently about linguistics, and helps us to address the impact of linguistic interaction. This book demonstrates how the science of complex systems changes every area of linguistics: how to make a grammar, how to think about the history of language, how language works in the brain ...
