Complex physical systems span a broad range of phenomena wherein the collective dynamics cannot be simply inferred from the law governing individual components. These systems are intrinsically ...

Duke University engineers are using artificial intelligence to do something scientists have chased for centuries; turn messy, real-world motion into simple rules you can write down. The work comes ...

Scientists point out that a coherent approach to understanding the threats posed by artificial intelligence is still elusive. They call for a complex systems perspective to better assess and mitigate ...

A study by University of Hawaiʻi researchers is advancing how we learn the laws that govern complex systems—from predator-prey relationships to traffic patterns in cities to how populations grow and ...

SURD, an algorithm, reveals causal links in complex systems. Applications may include forecasting climate to projecting population growth to designing efficient aircraft. Getting to the heart of ...

An ever-increasing number of information systems are becoming indispensable in nearly all aspects of health care delivery, from electronic health records (EHRs) and radiology image viewers to ...

Calvin Hennick is a freelance journalist who specializes in business and technology writing. He is a contributor to the CDW family of technology magazines. NASA has more programs today than at any ...

Complex systems such as metabolic pathways, ecosystems, the Internet, or human societies are comprised of large numbers of components that interact according to rules that change over time and that ...
