| Title | Networks of Networks: The Last Frontier of Complexity |
| Author(s) | D'Agostino, Gregorio;Scala, Antonio |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XII, 340 p. 147 illus., 126 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The present work is meant as a reference to provide an organic and comprehensive view of the most relevant results in the exciting new field of Networks of Networks (NetoNets). Seminal papers have recently been published posing the basis to study what happens when different networks interact, thus providing evidence for the emergence of new, unexpected behaviors and vulnerabilities. From those seminal works, the awareness on the importance understanding Networks of Networks (NetoNets) has spread to the entire community of Complexity Science. The reader will benefit from the experience of some of the most well-recognized leaders in this field. The contents have been aggregated under four headings; General Theory, Phenomenology, Applications and Risk Assessment. The reader will be impressed by the different applications of the general paradigm that span from physiology, to financial risk, to transports. We are currently making the first steps to reduce the distance between the language and the way of thinking of the two communities of experts in real infrastructures and the complexity scientists. Although this path may prove to be long, it is extremely promising, both in extending our understanding of complex systems and in finding concrete applications that can enhance the life quality of millions of people |

| Title | Better Decision Making in Complex, Dynamic Tasks : Training with Human-Facilitated Interactive Learning Environments |
| Author(s) | Qudrat-Ullah, Hassan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XX, 252 p. 69 illus., 59 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes interactive learning environments (ILEs) and their underlying concepts. It explains how ILEs can be used to improve the decision-making process and how these improvements can be empirically verified. The objective of this book is to enhance our understanding of and to gain insights into the process by which human facilitated ILEs are effectively designed and used in improving users??? decision making in complex, dynamic tasks. This book is divided into four major parts. Part I serves as an introduction to the importance and complexity of decision making in dynamic tasks. Part II provides background material, drawing upon relevant literature, for the development of an integrated process model on the effectiveness of human facilitated ILEs in improving decision making in dynamic tasks. Part III focuses on the design, development, and application of FishBankILE in laboratory experiments to gather empirical evidence for the validity of the process model. Finally, part IV presents a comprehensive analysis of the gathered data to illustrate the lessons to be learned. Better Decision Making in Complex, Dynamic Tasks will be useful for managers and practitioners, researchers, and students of dynamic decision making. Praise for Better Decision Making in Complex, Dynamic Tasks: "...rich in content, full with unique insights, and a self-sufficient volume on the design, development and application of system dynamics based simulations that are implemented as interactive learning environments (ILEs). Practitioners and researchers interested in seeking evidence for the efficacy of ILEs??? use in decision-making will find this book a must read."

| Title | Dynamics of Complex Autonomous Boolean Networks |
| Author(s) | Rosin, David P |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XX, 199 p. 88 illus., 9 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis focuses on the dynamics of autonomous Boolean networks, on the basis of Boolean logic functions in continuous time without external clocking. These networks are realized with integrated circuits on an electronic chip as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) with roughly 100,000 logic gates, offering an extremely flexible model system. It allows fast and cheap design cycles and large networks with arbitrary topologies and coupling delays. The??author presents pioneering results on theoretical modeling, experimental realization, and selected applications.?? In this regard, three classes of novel dynamic behavior are investigated: (i) Chaotic Boolean networks are proposed as high-speed physical random number generators with high bit rates. (ii) Networks of periodic Boolean oscillators are home to long-living transient chimera states, i.e., novel patterns of coexisting domains of spatially coherent (synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) dynamics. (iii) Excitable networks exhibit cluster synchronization and can be used as fast artificial Boolean neurons whose spiking patterns can be controlled. This work presents??the first??experimental platform for large complex networks, which will facilitate exciting??future developments |

| Title | Mathematical Modelling of the Cell Cycle Stress Response |
| Author(s) | Radmaneshfar, Elahe |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XV, 109 p. 36 illus., 29 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The cell cycle is a sequence of biochemical events that are controlled by complex but robust molecular machinery. This enables cells to achieve accurate self-reproduction under a broad range of conditions. Environmental changes are transmitted by molecular signaling networks, which coordinate their actions with the cell cycle. ?? This??work presents the first description of??two complementary computational models??describing the influence of osmotic stress on the entire cell cycle of S. cerevisiae. Our models condense a vast amount of experimental evidence on the interaction of the cell cycle network components with the osmotic stress pathway. Importantly, it is only by considering the entire cell cycle that we are able to make a series of novel predictions which emerge from the coupling between the molecular components of different cell cycle phases. ?? The model-based predictions are supported by experiments in S. cerevisiae and, moreover, have recently been observed in other eukaryotes. Furthermore our models reveal the mechanisms that emerge as a result of the interaction between the cell cycle and stress response networks |

| Title | Mobile Social Networking : An Innovative Approach |
| Author(s) | Chin, Alvin;Zhang, Daqing |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2014. |
| Description | XIV, 243 p. 64 illus., 61 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The use of contextually aware, pervasive, distributed computing, and sensor networks to bridge the gap between the physical and online worlds is the basis of mobile social networking. This book shows how applications can be built to provide mobile social networking, the research issues that need to be solved to enable this vision, and how mobile social networking can be used to provide computational intelligence that will improve daily life. With contributions from the fields of sociology, computer science, human-computer interaction and design, this book demonstrates how mobile social networks can be inferred from users' physical interactions both with the environment and with others, as well as how users behave around them and how their behavior differs on mobile vs. traditional online social networks |

| Title | Principles of Systems Science |
| Author(s) | Mobus, George E;Kalton, Michael C |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | XXXVI, 755 p. 199 illus., 163 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This pioneering text provides a comprehensive introduction to systems structure, function, and modeling as applied in all fields of science and engineering. Systems understanding is increasingly recognized as a key to a more holistic education and greater problem solving skills, and is also reflected in the trend toward interdisciplinary approaches to research on complex phenomena. The subject of systems science, as a basis for understanding the components and drivers of phenomena at all scales, should be viewed with the same importance as a traditional liberal arts education. Principles of Systems Science contains many graphs, illustrations, side bars, examples, and problems to enhance understanding. From basic principles of organization, complexity, abstract representations, and behavior (dynamics) to deeper aspects such as the relations between information, knowledge, computation, and system control, to higher order aspects such as auto-organization, emergence and evolution, the book provides an integrated perspective on the comprehensive nature of systems. It ends with practical aspects such as systems analysis, computer modeling, and systems engineering that demonstrate how the knowledge of systems can be used to solve problems in the real world. ??Each chapter is broken into parts beginning with qualitative descriptions that stand alone for students who have taken intermediate algebra. The second part?? presents quantitative descriptions that are based on pre-calculus and advanced algebra, providing a more formal treatment for students who have the necessary mathematical background. Understanding these basics enables further understanding both of how systems endure and how they may become increasingly complex and exhibit new properties or characteristics. ?????????????????? Serves as a textbook for teaching systems fundamentals in any discipline or for use in an introductory course in systems science degree programs ?????????????????? Addresses a wide range of audiences with different levels of mathematical sophistication ?????????????????? Includes open-ended questions in special boxes intended to stimulate integrated thinking and class discussion ?????????????????? Describes numerous examples of systems in science and society ?????????????????? Captures the trend towards interdisciplinary research and problem solving |

| Title | The Innovation Butterfly : Managing Emergent Opportunities and Risks During Distributed Innovation |
| Author(s) | Anderson Jr., Edward G;Joglekar, Nitin R |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. |
| Description | XII, 176 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Product and service innovations are the result of mutually interacting creative and coordination tasks within a system that has to balance technical decisions, marketplace taste, personnel management, and stakeholder commitment. The constituent elements of such systems are often scattered across multiple firms and across the globe and constitute a complex system consisting of many interacting parts. In the spirit of the "butterfly effect", metaphorically describing the sensitivity to initials conditions of chaotic systems, this book builds an argument that "innovation butterflies" can, in the short term, take up significant amounts of effort and sap efficiencies within individual innovation projects. Such "innovation butterflies" can be prompted by external forces such as government legislation or unexpected spikes in the price of basic goods (such as oil), unexpected shifts in market tastes, or from a company manager???s decisions or those of its competitors. Even the smallest change, the smallest disruption, to this system can steer a firm down an unpredictable and irreversibly different path in terms of technology and market evolution. In the long term, they can shift the balance of the entire innovation portfolio into unplanned directions. More importantly, we describe how innovation leaders can influence the emergent behavior of the system for good or ill. The first half of the book draws parallels from physics, economics, and sociology as well as evidence from multiple industries to describe the structural and behavioral causes of emergent phenomena in innovation settings as well as their often negative impacts. In the second half of the book, we turn to distributed management of innovation under emergence. We show that innovation butterflies, if improperly managed, most often lead to negative outcomes. On the other hand, it is also argued that while the complexity of the innovation system and the desire to experiment and try new and emergent alternatives precludes precise planning, innovation leaders can actually tame innovation butterflies through the design and implementation of appropriate processes, strategies, tools and leadership choices |

| Title | Complexity in Chemistry and Beyond: Interplay Theory and Experiment : New and Old Aspects of Complexity in Modern Research |
| Author(s) | Hill, Craig;Musaev, Djamaladdin G |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2012. |
| Description | X, 242 p. 165 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Complexity occurs in biological and synthetic systems alike.?? This general phenomenon has been addressed in recent publications by investigators in disciplines ranging from chemistry and biology to psychology and philosophy.?? Studies of complexity for molecular scientists have focussed on breaking symmetry, dissipative processes, and emergence.?? Investigators in the social and medical sciences have focused on neurophenomenology, cognitive approaches and self-consciousness.?? Complexity in both structure and function is inherent in many scientific disciplines of current significance and also in technologies of current importance that are rapidly evolving to address global societal needs.?? Several of these multifaceted scientific disciplines are addressed in this book including complexity from the general and philosophical perspective, magnetic phenomena, control of self assembly and function in large multicomponent clusters, application of theory to probe structure and mechanism in highly complex molecular species, and the design of multifunctional nanoscale molecules of value in decontamination and solar fuels research.?? Each chapter is both a review and addresses some ongoing challenges, thus each should provide a good preparation for further work in these highly active areas of research endeavour.?? |
