This book provides a comprehensive review of complex networks from three different domains, presents novel methods for analyzing them, and highlights applications with accompanying case studies. Special emphasis is placed on three specific kinds of complex networks of high technological and scientific importance: software networks extracted from the source code of computer programs, ontology networks describing semantic web ontologies, and co-authorship networks reflecting collaboration in science. The book is primarily intended for researchers, teachers and students interested in complex networks and network data analysis. However, it will also be valuable for researchers dealing with software engineering, ontology engineering and scientometrics, as it demonstrates how complex network analysis can be used to address important research issues in these three disciplines.

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications are now so pervasive that they have become indispensable facilitators which improve the quality of all our daily lives. This book presents the proceeding of MLIS 2022, the 4th International Conference on Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems, held as a virtual event due to the continued uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and hosted in Seoul, South Korea from 8 to 11 November 2022. The aim of the annual MLIS conference is to provide a platform for the exchange of the most recent scientific and technological advances in the field of machine learning and intelligent systems, and to strengthen links in the scientific community in related research areas. Scientific topics covered at MLIS 2022 included data mining, image processing, neural networks, natural language processing, video processing, computational intelligence, expert systems, human-computer interaction, deep learning, and robotics. The book contains the 20 papers selected for acceptance after a rigorous peer review process from the more than 90 full papers submitted. Selection criteria were based on originality, scientific/practical significance, compelling logical reasoning and language, and the 20 papers included here all provide either innovative and original ideas or results of general significance in the field of ML and AI. Providing an overview of the latest research and developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence, the book will be of interest to all those working in the field.

In Complexity and Postmodernism, Paul Cilliers explores the idea of complexity in the light of contemporary perspectives from philosophy and science. Cilliers offers us a unique approach to understanding complexity and computational theory by integrating postmodern theory (like that of Derrida and Lyotard) into his discussion. Complexity and Postmodernism is an exciting and an original book that should be read by anyone interested in gaining a fresh understanding of complexity, postmodernism and connectionism.

Adding one and one makes two, usually. But sometimes things add up to more than the sum of their parts. This observation, now frequently expressed in the maxim “more is different”, is one of the characteristic features of complex systems and, in particular, complex networks. Along with their ubiquity in real world systems, the ability of networks to exhibit emergent dynamics, once they reach a certain size, has rendered them highly attractive targets for research. The resulting network hype has made the word “network” one of the most in uential buzzwords seen in almost every corner of science, from physics and biology to economy and social sciences. The theme of “more is different” appears in a different way in the present v- ume, from the viewpoint of what we call “adaptive networks.” Adaptive networks uniquely combine dynamics on a network with dynamical adaptive changes of the underlying network topology, and thus they link classes of mechanisms that were previously studied in isolation. Here adding one and one certainly does not make two, but gives rise to a number of new phenomena, including highly robust se- organization of topology and dynamics and other remarkably rich dynamical beh- iors.

The book on complex systems, sustainability, and innovation explores a broad set of ideas and presents some of the state-of-the-art research in this field concisely in six chapters. In a complex system, it is difficult to know exactly how the individual components contribute to an observed behavior and the extent of each component's contributions. It is the interactions of the individual components that determine the emergent functionalities. This makes it difficult to understand and predict the behavior of complex systems and hence the effects of any innovations in this field. This necessitates for the emergence of a new age of innovations with the main focus on user orientation and sustainability. This book explores some of the complex systems and their dependence on the environment to provide a long-term perspective, aiding innovations and supporting a sustainable society. The intended audience of this book will mainly consist of researchers, research students, and practitioners in the field of complex systems and sustainability.
