  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    by Philip Ball ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • Conflict and Complexity

    Countering Terrorism, Insurgency, Ethnic and Regional Violence

    Edited by Yaneer Bar-Yam, Ali A. Minai, Philip Vos Fellman ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book follows the methodologies of complex adaptive systems research in their application to addressing the problems of terrorism, specifically terrorist networks, their structure and various methods of mapping and interdicting them as well as exploring the complex landscape of network-centric and irregular warfare. A variety of new models and approaches are presented here, including Dynamic ... Read more

  • Temporal Networks

    Edited by Jari Saramäki, Petter Holme ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The concept of temporal networks is an extension of complex networks as a modeling framework to include information on when interactions between nodes happen.Many studies of the last decade examine how the static network structure affect dynamic systems on the network. In this traditional approach the temporal aspects are pre-encoded in the dynamic system model.Temporal-network methods, on the ... Read more

  • Dynamic Systems for Everyone

    Understanding How Our World Works

    by Asish Ghosh ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is a study of the interactions between different types of systems, their environment, and their subsystems. The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechanical, electromechanical, etc.) systems and then guides the reader to understand how the same principles can be applied to social, political, economic systems, as well as in everyday life. Readers from ... Read more

  • Social Network Analysis - Community Detection and Evolution

    Edited by Rokia Missaoui, Idrissa Sarr ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    This book is devoted to recent progress in social network analysis with a high focus on community detection and evolution. The eleven chapters cover the identification of cohesive groups, core components and key players either in static or dynamic networks of different kinds and levels of heterogeneity. Other important topics in social network analysis such as influential detection and ... Read more

  • Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks

    Edited by Andreas Pyka, Petra Ahrweiler, Nigel Gilbert ...
    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    The competitiveness of firms, regions and countries greatly depends on the generation, dissemination and application of new knowledge. Modern innovation research is challenged by the need to incorporate knowledge generation and dissemination processes into the analysis so as to disentangle the complexity of these dynamic processes. With innovation, however, strong uncertainty, nonlinearities and ... Read more

  • Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age

    An Overview with Implications to Urban Planning and Design

    Edited by Juval Portugali, Han Meyer, Egbert Stolk, Ekim Tan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge, desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations, mediated by the existing technologies and social structures. The city represents the accretion and accumulation of successive layers of collective activity, structuring and being structured by other, increasingly distant ... Read more

  • Co-evolution of Intelligent Socio-technical Systems

    Modelling and Applications in Large Scale Emergency and Transport Domains

    Edited by Evangelia Mitleton-Kelly ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    As the interconnectivity between humans through technical devices is becoming ubiquitous, the next step is already in the making: ambient intelligence, i.e. smart (technical) environments, which will eventually play the same active role in communication as the human players, leading to a co-evolution in all domains where real-time communication is essential.This topical volume, based on the ...

  • Land Use Simulation for Europe

    Edited by John Stillwell, Henk J. Scholten ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Land use change is driven by a variety of forces, including spatial policies formulated at supra-national, national, regional and local levels. The main focus of this book is to contextualise, explain and illustrate a new methodology for simulating land use change in different parts of Europe. It considers some of the more important causal factors and identifies state-of-the-art approaches to ... Read more

  • Modelling and Simulation in the Social Sciences from the Philosophy of Science Point of View

    Edited by R. Hegselmann, Ulrich Mueller, Klaus G. Troitzsch ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    Model building in the social sciences can increasingly rely on well elaborated formal theories. At the same time inexpensive large computational capacities are now available. Both make computer-based model building and simulation possible in social science, whose central aim is in particular an understanding of social dynamics. Such social dynamics refer to public opinion formation, partner choice ... Read more
