Theme Complexity

The theme Dynamics of Complex systems focuses on methods, strategies and approaches for scientific analysis of social, economical, physical and financial complex systems.
Complex systems science was triggered by Physical Sciences, and was quickly spread out to, among other disciplines, social sciences and economy. At this moment is the complex system science one of the fastest growing scientific disciplines. The research concerns systems of different kind, for example, complex processes related to infrastructures, spreading of diseases, fluctuation and changes in climate.

Complex systems are predictable, although some inherent limitations of the non-linear processes are apparent. Predictions of the behaviour of complex real-world processes are increasingly based on the computation models and simulation of extended multi-scale nonlinear systems. This approach can be applied for analysis of different systems, which although differ strongly in their nature, show some very similar behaviour. This new approach can be utilised to improve for example, the robustness of the infrastructures, the process control systems or to get a better insight into, for instance, complex organisms in the bio sector.
