Description / Table of Contents:
By making use of the principles of systems science, the scientific community can explain many complicated matters of the world and shed new light on unsettled problems. This volume explores general systems, nonlinear systems dynamics, and the theory of catastrophe. It discusses dissipative structures and synergistics, chaos, fractals, complex systems and complexity, complex adaptive systems, open complex giant systems, and complex networks and related concepts and methods. Case studies demonstrate how various concepts and the logic of systems can be practically applied to resolve real-life problems, such as the prediction of natural disasters.
