Description: Emergence and
complexity refer to the appearance of higher-level properties and behaviours of
a system that obviously comes from the collective dynamics of that system's
components. These properties are not directly deducible from the lower-level
motion of that system. Emergent properties are properties of the "whole''
that are not possessed by any of the individual parts making up that whole.
Such phenomena
exist in various domains and can be described, using complexity concepts and
thematic knowledges. This book highlights complexity modelling through
dynamical or behavioral systems. The pluridisciplinary purposes, developed
along the chapters, are able to design links between a wide-range of
fundamental and applicative Sciences. Developing such links - instead of
focusing on specific and narrow researches - is characteristic of the Science
of Complexity that we try to promote by this contribution.
