This book is devoted to a domain of highest industrial and scientific interest, the complexity. The complexity understanding and management will be a main source of efficiency and prosperity for the next decades. Complex systems are assemblies of multiple subsystems and are characterized by emergent behavior that results by nonlinear interactions among the subsystems at multiple levels of organization. Evolvability that is the ability to evolve is the method to confront and surpass the successive boundaries of complexity. Evolvability is not biological but should be considered here in the sense that the corresponding systems have, at different levels, characteristics that are naturally associated to the living systems. Interdisciplinary valuable reference for engineers, system scientists, mathematicians, entrepreneurs and investors facing complexity challenge Presents theoretical and practical aspects of the Polystochastic methodology incl case studies INDICE: Methods.- Physical and chemical systems.- Biosystems and bioinspired systems.- Systems sciences and cognitive systems.- Perspectives.
