When health care systems run too close to the edge, even small disruptions can spiral into cascading crises.

Simulation modelling has emerged as a vital tool for understanding and managing the inherent complexity of numerous systems, from healthcare and manufacturing to logistics and business operations. By ...

Complex network theory has become a key analytical framework in modern physics for studying structure, dynamics, and emergent behaviour in complex systems.

We are trying to fix health care as if it were complicated. In reality, health care is complex.

An ever-increasing number of information systems are becoming indispensable in nearly all aspects of health care delivery, from electronic health records (EHRs) and radiology image viewers to ...

A research team has developed a novel method for estimating the predictability of complex dynamical systems. Their work, "Time-lagged recurrence: A data-driven method to estimate the predictability of ...

Complex systems such as metabolic pathways, ecosystems, the Internet, or human societies are comprised of large numbers of components that interact according to rules that change over time and that ...

SURD, an algorithm, reveals causal links in complex systems. Applications may include forecasting climate to projecting population growth to designing efficient aircraft. Getting to the heart of ...

Complex systems as a research area focuses on studying systems composed of many interacting components whose collective behavior exhibits nonlinearity, emergence, adaptation, and self-organization. It ...
