Böcker i Springer Proceedings in Complexity-serien

This book contains contributions in the area of Network Science, presented at the 14th International Conference on Complex Networks (CompleNet), 24-28 April, 2023 in Aveiro, Portugal. CompleNet is an international conference on complex networks that brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines¿from sociology, biology, physics, and computer science¿who share a passion to better understand the interdependencies within and across systems. CompleNet is a venue to discuss ideas and findings about all types networks, from biological, to technological, to informational and social. It is this interdisciplinary nature of complex networks that CompleNet aims to explore and celebrate.The audience of the work are professionals and academics working in Network Science, a highly-multidisciplinary field.

This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2022. As such, this book offers a unique insight into emerging topics, issues and developments pertinent to the fields of technology, innovation and education and their social impact. Papers included in this book apply inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to query such issues as technology-enhanced teaching and learning, smart cities, information systems, cognitive computing and social networking. What brings these threads of the discussion together is the question of how advances in computer science ¿ which are otherwise largely incomprehensible to researchers from other fields ¿ can be effectively translated and capitalized on so as to make them beneficial for society as a whole. In this context, Rii Forum and Rii Forum proceedings offer an essential venue where diverse stakeholders, including academics, the think tank sector and decision-makers, canengage in a meaningful dialogue with a view to improving the applicability of advances in computer science.

This book covers recent trends and applications of nonlinear dynamics in various branches of society, science, and engineering. The selected peer-reviewed contributions were presented at the International Conference on Nonlinear Dynamics and Applications (ICNDA 2022) at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT) and cover a broad swath of topics ranging from chaos theory and fractals to quantum systems and the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organized by the SMIT Department of Mathematics, this international conference offers an interdisciplinary stage for scientists, researchers, and inventors to present and discuss the latest innovations and trends in all possible areas of nonlinear dynamics.

Gathering the proceedings of the 14th CHAOS2021 International Conference, this book highlights recent developments in nonlinear, dynamical and complex systems. The conference was intended to provide an essential forum for Scientists and Engineers to exchange ideas, methods, and techniques in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals and their applications in General Science and the Engineering Sciences.The respective chapters address key methods, empirical data and computer techniques, as well as major theoretical advances in the applied nonlinear field. Beyond showcasing the state of the art, the book will help academic and industrial researchers alike apply chaotic theory in their studies.Chapter "e;On the Origin of the Universe: Chaos or Cosmos"e; is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com

This book features research presented and discussed during the Research and Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic and its social, political, and economic implications had confirmed that a more thorough debate on these issues and topics was needed. For this reason, the Rii Forum 2021 was devoted to the broadly defined question of the short- and long-term impact of the pandemic on our societies. This volume serves as an essential resource to understand the diverse ways in which Covid-19 impacted our societies, including the capacity to innovate, advances in technology, the evolution of the healthcare systems, business model innovation, the prospects of growth, the stability of political systems, and the future of education. 

This book presents the latest research into CSS methods, uses, and results, as presented at the 2019 annual conference of the CSSSA.  This conference was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, October 24 - 27, 2019, at the Drury Plaza Hotel.  What follows is a diverse representation of new results and approaches for using the tools of CSS and agent-based modeling (ABM) for exploring complex phenomena across many different domains. Readers will therefore not only have the results of these specific projects on which to build, but will also gain a greater appreciation for the broad scope of CSS, and have a wealth of case-study examples that can serve as meaningful exemplars for new research projects and activities. The Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA) is a professional society that aims to advance the field of CSS in all its areas, from fundamental principles to real-world applications, by holding conferences and workshops, promoting standards of scientific excellence in research and teaching, and publishing novel research findings.

This book contains a selection of the latest research in the field of Computational Social Science (CSS) methods, uses, and results, as presented at the 2021 annual conference of the Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA).

This book covers the latest advances in applying agent-based modelling in social sciences. The Social Simulation Conference is the major global conference devoted to this topic. It is aimed at promoting social simulation and computational social science. This yearΓÇÖs special theme is ΓÇ£Social Simulation geared towards Post-Pandemic timesΓÇ¥, focused not only on questions raised by the current pandemic but also on future challenges related to economic recovery, such as localization, globalization, inequality, sustainable growth and social changes induced by progressive digitalization, data availability and artificial intelligence.The primary audience of this book are scholars and practitioners in computational social sciences including economics, business, sociology, politics, psychology and urban studies.

This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2019.

It includes papers for both application areas of COINs, (1) optimizing organizational creativity and performance, and (2) discovering and predicting new trends by identifying COINs on the Web through online social media analysis.

This book analyzes a range of new developments in various fields concerning the concepts of chaos and complexity theory.

This book contains a selection of the latest research in the field of Computational Social Science (CSS) methods, uses, and results, as presented at the 2018 annual conference of the CSSSA.

Computational social science (CSS) is the science that investigates social and behavioral dynamics through social simulation, social network analysis, and social media analysis.
