Intelligent Complex Adaptive Systems explores the foundation, history, and theory of intelligent adaptive systems, providing scholars, researchers, and practitioners with a fundamental resource on topics such as the emergence of intelligent adaptive systems in social sciences,...

The universe is a massive system of systems, for example, ecological systems, social systems, commodity and stock market. These systems are complex, constantly adapting to their environment, and many are essential to the very existence of human beings. To fully understand these systems, complex adaptive systems research uses systemic inquiry to build multi-level and multidisciplinary representations of reality to study these systems. Applications of Complex Adaptive Systems provides an estimable global view of the most up-to-date research on the strategies, applications, practice, and...
