Complexity

Computer scientist Melanie Mitchell presents examples of how the interdisciplinary field of complex systems science is discovering principles underlying different natural and technological systems. As science probes the nature of life and society, what it finds is complexity. The behavior of social insects, the genome, and the structure of the World Wide Web -- these are examples of systems that challenge scientific understanding. Melanie Mitchell is Professor of Computer Science at Portland State University. She has published books and papers on artificial intelligence, in cognitive science, and about complex systems.
