Engineering Emergence

A Modeling and Simulation Approach
Herausgeber: Rainey, Larry B.; Jamshidi, Mo

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book examines the nature of emergence in context of man-made systems and system of systems engineering problems. It investigates emergence from a modeling and simulation perspective to interrogate or explore the domain space via modeling and simulation to facilitate understanding, detection, classification, and prediction of the phenomenon.
