The science and tools of complexity and systems science include theories of self-organization, complex systems, synergetics, dynamical systems, turbulence, catastrophes, instabilities, nonlinearity, stochastic processes, chaos, neural networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, and genetic algorithms. Examples of near-term problems and major unknowns that can be approached through complexity and systems science include: The structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; the integration of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics as systems biology; human longevity limits; the limits of computing; sustainability of life on earth; predictability, dynamics and extent of earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters; the dynamics of turbulent flows; lasers or fluids in physics, microprocessor design; macromolecular assembly in chemistry and biophysics; brain functions in cognitive neuroscience; climate change; ecosystem management; traffic management; and business cycles. All these seemingly quite different kinds of structure formation have a number of important features and underlying structures in common. These deep structural similarities can be exploited to transfer analytical methods and understanding from one field to another. This unique work will extend the influence of complexity and system science to a much wider audience than has been possible to date. 606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aChemistry 606 $aBioinformatics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aManagement science 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aChemistry/Food Science, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C00004 606 $aBioinformatics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15001 606 $aEconomics, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W00000 606 $aEarth Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G00002 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aChemistry. 615 0$aBioinformatics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 14$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aChemistry/Food Science, general. 615 24$aBioinformatics. 615 24$aEconomics, general. 615 24$aEarth Sciences, general. 676 $a621 702 $aMeyers$b Robert A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418180003316 996 $aEncyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science$91964391 997 $aUNISA
