Springer Complexity
Springer Complexity is an interdisciplinary program publishing the best research
and academic-level teaching on both fundamental and applied aspects of complex
systems – cutting across all traditional disciplines of the natural and life sciences,
engineering,economics,medicine,neuroscience,socialandcomputerscience.
ComplexSystemsaresystemsthatcomprisemanyinteractingpartswiththeabil-
itytogenerateanewqualityofmacroscopiccollectivebehaviorthemanifestations
ofwhicharethespontaneousformationofdistinctivetemporal,spatialorfunctional
structures. Models of such systems can be successfully mapped onto quite diverse
“real-life” situations like the climate, the coherent emission of light from lasers,
chemical reaction-diffusion systems, biological cellular networks, the dynamics of
stockmarketsandoftheinternet,earthquakestatisticsandprediction,freewaytraf-
fic, the human brain, or the formation of opinions in social systems, to name just
someofthepopularapplications.
Although their scope and methodologies overlap somewhat, one can distinguish
thefollowing mainconcepts and tools:self-organization, nonlinear dynamics, syn-
ergetics, turbulence, dynamical systems, catastrophes, instabilities, stochastic pro-
cesses,chaos,graphsandnetworks,cellularautomata,adaptivesystems,genetical-
gorithmsandcomputationalintelligence.
The two major book publication platforms of the Springer Complexity program
arethemonographseries“UnderstandingComplexSystems”focusingonthevari-
ous applications of complexity, and the “Springer Series in Synergetics”, which is
devoted to the quantitative theoretical and methodological foundations. In addition
tothebooksinthesetwocoreseries,theprogramalsoincorporatesindividualtitles
rangingfromtextbookstomajorreferenceworks.

Understanding Complex Systems
FoundingEditor:J.A.ScottKelso
Future scientific and technological developments in many fields will necessarily
depend upon coming to grips with complex systems. Such systems are complex in
both their composition – typically many different kinds of components interacting
simultaneouslyandnonlinearlywitheachotherandtheirenvironmentsonmultiple
levels–andintherichdiversityofbehaviorofwhichtheyarecapable.
The Springer Series in Understanding Complex Systems series (UCS) promotes
new strategies and paradigms for understanding and realizing applications of com-
plex systems research in a wide variety of fields and endeavors. UCS is explicitly
transdisciplinary. It has three main goals: First, to elaborate the concepts, methods
andtoolsofcomplexsystemsatalllevelsofdescriptionandinallscientificfields,
especiallynewlyemergingareaswithinthelife,social,behavioral,economic,neuro-
andcognitivesciences(andderivativesthereof);second,toencouragenovelapplica-
tionsoftheseideasinvariousfieldsofengineeringandcomputationsuchasrobotics,

monalities and differences in the workings of complex systems may be discerned,
henceleadingtodeeperinsightandunderstanding.
UCS will publish monographs, lecture notes and selected edited contributions
