Description:
A unique resource for understanding and applying the concepts of complexity theory through mathematics and computational techniques, this Encyclopedia extends the usefulness of complexity and system science to a much wider audience than ever before.
Review Quotes: From the reviews: "Springer has published a notable work on complex systems and science. The encyclopedia provides researchers with an overview of the field and will no doubt prove to be an invaluable point of reference. ... What is of particular interest is the exploration of complexity science in tackling various problems from the biological basis of consciousness to microprocessor design to sustainability of life on earth; predictability, dynamics and extent of earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters."
