Preface
This book addresses recent technological progress that has led to an increased complexity in societal, ecological, and engineered systems. This complexity is characterized by the emergence of new proprieties and structures resulting from nonlinear interactions among system elements and between system and its environment. This volume provides researchers and managers with qualitative and quantitative methods, bottom-up and holistic approaches for handling many features of the complex contemporary reality. This book is composed of three parts with a total of 13 chapters: Part I (Chaps. 1–6) focuses on societal and ecological systems, Part II (Chaps. 7–12) deals with approaches for understanding, modeling, forecasting, and mastering complex systems, and Part III (Chap. 13) includes reallife examples. Each chapter of this book has its own special features; it is a self-c
