Abstract

Focused research on understanding the complexities of social and economic systems through computational model is the main theme of this book. Many new applications of computational models like Kabbalah Tree of Life, Spectral Analysis, Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, Artificial Neural Network, Cellular Automata, and Agent based modelling approaches are proposed and applied successfully to investigate intricacies of the systems.
