Complex systems: theory and applications / editors G. Rzveski, the Open University, UK ; C.A. Brebbia, Wessex Institute, UK.

Containing papers presented at the 2016 New Forest Conference on Complex Systems, this multi-disciplinary book presents new approaches for resolving complex issues that cannot be resolved using conventional mathematical or software models.

Includes bibliographical references.
