Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

This chapter will detail the most salient points regarding complex systems, their behaviour and properties, with a focus on the tumour systems, and define related concepts. The concept of local interactivity in multi-agent systems will be introduced as a direct explanation of behaviour of complex systems. Systems biology will be described rom a systems-theoretic point of view and a review of the state of the art in terms of modelling technologies will be discussed.
