tion both on the innovative concepts and implementations in order
to model self-organizations, but also on the relevant applicative
domains in which they can be used e?ciently. First part deals with
general modelling and methodology as conceptual - proaches for
complex systems description. An introductive chapter by Michel
Cotsaftis entitled "A Passage to Complex Systems", treats the
notion of "Complex Systems" in opposition to that of a "Complicated
System". This can be, he claims, comprehended immediately from the
latin roots as "C- plex" comes from "cum plexus" (tied up with)
whereas "complicated" ori- natesfrom"cumpliare"(piledupwith).
Thepaperisawideandrichdisser- tion with elements of history (of the
technical developement of mankind) with its recents steps :
mechanist, quantum and relativistic points of view. Then, the need
for a "passage" is illustrated by the discussion, with tools
borrowed from functional analysis, of a typical parametric
di?erential system. The last and conclusive parts give tracks for
the study of Complex Systems, in parti- lar one can hope to pass to
quantitative study and control of complex systems even if one has
to consent a "larger intelligence delegation" to them (as - nounced
in the introduction) by using and developing tools already present
in dissipative Physics and in Mathematical functional analysis and
?xed point theorems, for instance. This "passage" is followed by a
wide bibliography of more than 90 entries. The (non hasty) reader
is invited to read this deep and far reaching account before
browsing through the book.
