Methods, models, simulations and approaches towards a general theory of change : proceedings of the fifth national conference of the Italian Systems Society /

The book contains the Proceedings of the 2010 Conference of the Italian Systems Society. Papers deal with the interdisciplinary study of processes of changing related to a wide variety of specific disciplinary aspects. Classical attempts to deal with them, based on generalising approaches used to st...
