Complex Systems Modeling and Analysis

Undesired or unexpected properties are frequent as large-scale, complex systems with non-linear interactions are being designed and implemented to answer real-life scenarios. How to model the behaviors of entities in complex systems and their interactions, as well as how to analyze the large amounts of data generated in order to determine the effects of specific interactions or environmental changes remains an open problem. In this paper, we explore existing approaches to modeling complex systems. We present an in-depth overview of three properties exhibited by complex systems and present how they can be modelled in well known scenarios.
