mathematical results on complexity as broadly conceived.

his is a bibliography covering some of the philosophical and practical references to the concept
and measurement of Complexity. It does not attempt to cover all the new sciences that might
come under the "Complexity" banner, unless they are relevant to the idea of Complexity per se.

complex systems research. The theme of the journal is the field of complex systems, the
generation of complex behaviour from the interaction of multiple parallel processes. Relevant
topics include (but are not restricted to): artificial life, cellular automata, chaos theory, control
theory, evolutionary programming, fractals, genetic algorithms, information systems, neural
networks, non-linear dynamics, and parallel computation.
efficiency considerations. Depending on the structure of the problem at hand, different
implementations will have different runtime characteristics and space requirements. We refer to
these as the (time or space) complexity. Other measures exist.

exactly the same reason: each user has a slightly different view of what is "most relevant." Thus,
although abstractions can reduce complexity, working around their limitations can introduce other
complexities. Some abstractions are designed to minimize the added complexity.

In general, the complexity of an object is a function of the realtionships among the components of
the object.
