Plenary
/
in englischer SpracheThe management of complex systems is one of the most urgent challenges for society, industry and government – ranging from technology, production, transportation, finance, economy, to healthcare, medicine and the environment. Essential for any monitoring and control is the capability to merge the understanding of the dynamics of complex systems with big relational data. In this panel, we want to discuss the tremendous potential and challenges of understanding complex systems for the benefit of society.
