COMPLEXITY AND DIVERSITY KARTONIERT (TB)

Nonlinear complex open systems show great diversity in the process of self-organization  and
that diversity increases as complexity increases. The measurement of complexity and the origins
of the diversity of such complex systems are the focus of interdisciplinary studies extending
across a wide range of scientific disciplines that include applied mathematics  physics 
chemistry  biology  psychology  ecology  sociology  and economics. Previous investigations have
concentrated either on complexity or on diversity  but not both. This volume makes clear the
relation between complexity and diversity with examples drawn from various disciplines.
Compiles here are presentations from the Complexity and Diversity workshop held in Fugue  Japan
in August 1996. The contributions are the results of research in mathematical systems  physical
systems  living systems  and social systems  and are contained in the four corresponding
sections of the book. Mathematical expressions for the theory of complexity as a fundamental
method along with realistic examples for application of systematic methods provide the reader
with ready access to the latest topics in complex systems.
