Although complex problem solving has emerged as a field of psychology in its own right, the literature is, for the most part, widely scattered, and often so technical that it is inaccessible to non-experts. This unique book provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and accessible introduction to the field of complex problem solving. Chapter authors -- experts in their selected domains -- deliver systematic, thought-provoking analyses generally written from an information-processing point of view. Areas addressed include politics, electronics, and computers.

This volume presents a review of recent European research on complex problem solving (CPS), from Sweden, Switzerland, Great Britain and Germany. European scholars have been primarily concerned with problem solving behaviour in artificially generated, mostly computerized, complex systems.
