A comprehensive text that reviews the methods and technologies that
explore emergent behavior in complex systems engineering in
multidisciplinary fields
In Emergent Behavior in Complex Systems Engineering, the authors
present the theoretical considerations and the tools required to enable
the study of emergent behaviors in manmade systems. Information
Technology is key to today's modern world. Scientific theories
introduced in the last five decades can now be realized with the latest
computational infrastructure. Modeling and simulation, along with Big
Data technologies are at the forefront of such exploration and
investigation.
The text offers a number of simulation-based methods, technologies, and
approaches that are designed to encourage the reader to incorporate
simulation technologies to further their understanding of emergent
behavior in complex systems. The authors present a resource for those
designing, developing, managing, operating, and maintaining systems,
including system of systems. The guide is designed to help better
detect, analyse, understand, and manage the emergent behaviour inherent
in complex systems engineering in order to reap the benefits of
innovations and avoid the dangers of unforeseen consequences. This vital
resource:
- Presents coverage of a wide range of simulation technologies
- Explores the subject of emergence through the lens of Modeling and
Simulation (M&S)
- Offers contributions from authors at the forefront of various related
disciplines such as philosophy, science, engineering, sociology, and
economics
- Contains information on the next generation of complex systems
engineering
Written for researchers, lecturers, and students, Emergent Behavior in
Complex Systems Engineering provides an overview of the current
discussions on complexity and emergence, and shows how systems
engineering methods in general and simulation methods in particular can
help in gaining new insights in complex systems engineering.
