Measurement Science for Complex Information Systems
·http://nist.gov/itl/antd/emergent_behavior.cfmWe
live
in
the
midst
of
astonishingly
complex
systems.
From
ecologies
to
earthquakes,
from
transportation
networks
to
computational
clouds,
our
days
are
defined
by
the
networks
in
which
we
are
intertwined.
Yet,
as
sudden
weather
disasters
and
unexpected
economic
upheavals
prove,
we’re
still
pretty
bad
at
predicting
complex
systems.
This
is
the
very
problem
that
the
Measurement
Science
for
Complex
Information
Systems
lab
at
the
National
Institute
of
Standards
and
Technology
(NIST)
aims
to
understand.
The
website
opens
with
a
great
introduction
and
summary
of
the
project,
including
what
the
“new
idea”
and
the
“technical
objectives”
are.
Along
with
descriptions
of
the
applied
mathematical
and
hard
science
measures
used
by
NIST,
there
are
numerous
links
to
Related
Publications
and

Presentations
