We propose a series of methods to represent the evolution of a field of science at different levels: namely micro, meso and macro levels. We use a previously introduced asymmetric...
While complex systems have been studied now for more than two decades, there still is no agreement on what complexity actually is. This lack of a definition might be a problem when...
Abstract. Multiagent cooperative negotiation is a promising technique for modeling and controlling complex systems. Effective and flexible cooperative negotiations are especially...
It is to date an open question to know how the updating methods affect the evolution of a multi-agent system. This question has been tackled for various complex systems such as ce...
The impossibility of statically determining the behavior of complex systems that interact at runtime with heterogeneous devices and remote entities, may lead to unexpected system ...
In the context of the modular and incremental development of complex systems, viewed as interconnections of interacting components, new dimensions and new problems arise in the ca...
—This paper addresses the simulation of the dynamics of complex systems by using hierarchical graph and multi-agent system. A complex system is composed of numerous interacting p...
One feature of many naturally occurring or engineered complex systems is tremendous variability in event sizes. To account for it, the behavior of these systems is often described...

Hybrid agent-based simulation is required to provide a mechanism for analyzing large-scale complex systems, such as the National Airspace System (NAS). The dynamic behavior of man...
Current IT application domains such as web services and autonomic computing call for highly flexible systems, able to automatically adapt to changing operational environments as w...
