Special Issue Call for Papers: Recent Developments in Complexity Science
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in understanding the theoretical aspects of complex systems that are highly dynamic. The study of dynamic systems is to understand the involved influence of nonlinear/stochastic behavior and consequently to provide effective analysis/design ways to improve the system performance. Since the rapid developments in system science and mathematics, a great deal of research has been focused on the analysis and synthesis of dynamic systems. It has been found out that the recent technological advances can play a crucial role in the emergence of dynamical behaviors in various fields such as biology, physics, technology, control engineering, computer science, economic and the life sciences.
Dynamic systems have already become an ideal research area for control engineer, mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists to analyze, design and interpret functional information from real-world networks. The main challenges associated with the analysis and synthesis problems for such systems are: the computational complexity of solving the large-sized cooperative problems with coupled tasks, the executing tasks under limited communication channel, the performance requirements subject to incomplete information, and obtaining scalable solutions, etc. This special issue aims to bring the latest approaches to understanding the dynamic systems from the systemic analysis perspective and the mathematical understanding viewpoint. Topics include, but are not limited to the following aspects of analysis for dynamic systems:
-
Stability analysis, Robustness, Fragility, Controllability
-
Synchronization, Control, Estimation
-
Topology structure and dynamics
-
Applications in real-world complex networks, sensor networks, neural networks, multi-agent systems
-
Multi-scale analysis, Operational research, Dynamic programming, Graph theory
