A leap into complexity

03 July 2019

Human brain, highway systems, social networks designed as systems to understand their dynamics and evolutions. CCS/Italy 2019, the first Italian conference in the industry, was held at FBK in Trento

What do human brains, highways and social networks have in common? They are all examples of complex systems, made up of multiple units that combine to create a network capable of adapting to the context and influencing it at the same time.

CCS/Italy 2019, the first Italian conference in the industry, chaired by FBK researcher Manlio De Domenico, head of the Complex Multilayer Networks Research Unit, closes today at Trento-based Fondazione Bruno Kessler. We asked him for an overview on complex systems and on the applications of these innovative studies.
