ECCS'12, its ninth edition, took place in Brussels, during the first week of September 2012. It gathered about 650 scholars representing a wide range of topics relating to complex systems research, with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. More specifically, the following tracks were covered:  1. Foundations of Complex Systems 2. Complexity, Information and Computation 3. Prediction, Policy and Planning, Environment 4. Biological Complexity 5. Interacting Populations, Collective Behavior 6. Social Systems, Economics and Finance This book contains a selection of the contributions presented at the conference and its satellite meetings. Its contents reflect the extent, diversity and richness of research areas in the field, both fundamental and applied.  . 410 0$aSpringer Proceedings in Complexity,$x2213-8692 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aSystem theory 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aSystem theory. 676 $a003 701 $aGilbert$b Thomas$01763721 701 $aKirkilionis$b Markus$f1962-$01763722 701 $aNicolis$b G.$f1939-$016618 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438111703321 996 $aProceedings of the European Conference on Complex Systems 2012$94204324 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03211nam 2200373z- 450 001 9910166054303321 005 20210211 035 $a(CKB)3710000001080243 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42829 035 $a(oapen)doab42829 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001080243 100 $a20202102d2016 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCavendish: The Experimental Life 210 $cEdition Open Access$d2016 215 $a1 online resource (596 p.) 225 1 $aStudies 7: Max Planck Research Library in the History and Development of Knowledge 311 08$a3-945561-06-X 330 $aTwo gifted eighteenth-century Londoners, Charles Cavendish and his painfully preeminent son Henry were descendants of paired revolutions, one political and one scientific. Scions of a powerful revolutionary family, they gave an original turn to the duty of public service that attached to their social rank. The English aristocracy knew one of its finest hours when Henry Cavendish gently laid his delicate weights in the scales of the first great precision balance of the century. For this action to happen, it took two generations and two kinds of invention, one in social forms and the other in scientific methods. This joint biography of father and son tells how it came to pass. Henry Cavendish is best known for his researches in chemistry, electricity, and heat, but in truth he worked in every part of physical science, bringing to it his unique combination of experimental precision and mathematical penetration. His accomplishment is likened to the highest example: since the death of Newton, Humphry Davy wrote, England has suffered "no scientific loss so great as that of Cavendish." Through inheritance he became immensely rich. Regarding intellect and fortune, he is called "the wisest of the rich and the richest of the wise." In his exclusive devotion to science, he is compared with "the most austere anchorites," who were "not more faithful to their vows." With reference to his legendary shyness, he is described as a man of "most reserved disposition," of a "degree bordering on disease." He was, to be sure, all of these things: one of the best scientists of his time, one of the richest men in the kingdom, a member of one of the politically most influential aristocratic families, a scientific fanatic, and a person of extraordinary peculiarities. This biography, a major revision of the original published in 1999, offers an enlarged understanding of the eighteenth century world of science and a reevaluation both of the scientific genius and of the remarkable personality of Henry Cavendish. It is a comprehensive study of science, family, and society in the eighteenth century. 517 $aCavendish 606 $aChemistry$2bicssc 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $aMPRL 615 7$aChemistry 700 $aChrista Jungnickel$4auth$01326351 702 $aRussell McCormmach$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166054303321 996 $aCavendish: The Experimental Life$93037364 997 $aUNINA
