Utilizando Ciência de Redes no Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Complexos

Abstract

Complex systems are characterized as such due to the many resources involved in their life cycle, as well as their interactions with other systems, actors, and artifacts. These characteristics affect decisions on to the design, operation, management, governance, and evolution of such systems, thus requiring a a better understanding of of the relationships among their elements. Furthermore, the demand for managing the increasing exchange of large volumes of data and the need for efficient use of limited computational and energy resources are critical factors for these complex systems. This chapter introduces how the context of complex systems affects the development of
