The field of complexity management addresses this challenge through the integration of traditionally disparate disciplines such as control science, software engineering, artificial intelligence and biology. Automation, Control and Complexity - An Integrated Approach is organised around four central themes: * People and Automation, Sensing and Control, Software and Complex Systems and Complexity Management and Networks. Features include: * Authoritative discussions of complexity within a variety of engineering domains, including commercial aviation, process industries, communication networks.
