Complexity and emergence : proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the International Academy of the Philosophy of Science : Bergamo, Italy, 9-13 May 2001 /
Complexity has become a central topic in certain sectors of theoretical physics and chemistry (for example, in connection with nonlinearity and deterministic chaos). Also, mathematical measurements of complexity and formal characterizations of this notion have been proposed. The question of how comp...
