Deliverable 2 of the SEA-SoNS ("Assessing the Benefits of Social Networks on Organizations”) project brings together results from different research activities, both qualitative and quantitative. Together, these results paint a picture of the benefits to organisations of social media, the...

The applicability of complex systems theory in economics is evaluated and compared with standard approaches to economic theorising based upon constrained optimisation. A complex system is defined in the economic context and differentiated from complex systems in physio-chemical and biological...

In this article, the goal is to offer a new research agenda for evolutionary macroeconomics. The article commences with a broad review of the main ideas in the history of thought concerning the determinants of economic growth and an introduction to the evolutionary perspective. This is followed...

We give a new introduction to hyperstructures and higher order structures in general. A specific implementation of a hyperstructure we call Abstract Matter, and we argue that this is a suitable model for studying and simulating various kinds of both organic and inorganic matter — even...

Some theoretical problems and methodology of meso-economic systems were analysed in this article. For this purpose, systems analysis, synergetic and homeostatic approaches, the basic principles of the theory of logical inference, and research operations were utilised. Meso-systems (including...

This paper discusses modern macroeconomic and financial models in the light of the current crisis. Theory has been revealed to be inadequate in its explanation of the origins and the nature of the crisis, as Jean-Claude Trichet the Governor of the European Central bank and his colleagues at...

Рассматривается проблема оптимизации нефтеперерабатывающего производства как сложной системы. Приводятся математические модели и методы, реализованные в...

We study the traffic behavior in the asymmetric two-route traffic system with real-time information. In the asymmetric two-route system, the length on route A is different from that on route B and there exists a bottleneck on route A. We extend the symmetric two-route dynamic model to the...

Моделирование является сегодня одним из важнейших инструментов исследования сложных систем. В поведении современных экономических систем одновременно...
