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.

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, 1999Advances 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.”

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
2021A 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.

On the Complexity of Software Systems
Computer, 2012Developing 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.

Dependability of a Complex System
Operations Research, 1962In 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.

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 ...
