Overview

The idea of a 'complex system' remains, despite nebulous, despite persistent attempts at classification and characterization. In its three-year history, the Complex Systems Summer School had developed as a leading force in complexity education and research and contributed in a lasting way to the search for a true definition of a complex system.
