"In the global information society, innovation is a highly pervasive process that influences all facets of human life: cultural, economic, political, and institutional. A desire to comprehend the impacts of innovative change on so many areas of urban life prompted the research project that has resulted in the publication of this volume. Our research confirms that we are presently in the midst of an era of rapid and explosive chan ..."
"Covering a broad range of topics, this text provides a comprehensive survey of the modelling of chaotic dynamics and complexity in the natural and social sciences. Its attention to models in both the physical and social sciences and the detailed philosophical approach make this an unique text in the midst of many current books on chaos and complexity. Part 1 deals with the mathematical model as an instrument of investigation. The genera ..."
"At the basis of the Elliott wave principle is the assumption that the financial
markets reflect a general principle of natural symmetry: symmetry that manifests
itself, in this context, both in the succession of waves according to periodic
patterns and in the invariance of the trends of share prices on different time-
scales.35 Elliott's deep-rooted conviction of the existence of this general principle
of symmetry is the origin of t ..."

"Originally published in 1990, this work analyses the use of contemporary computer models to simulate urban systems. The work deals with the two significant traditions of model-building: firstly the building of integrated models following the seminal research of Lowry first published in 1964, but with relatively simple submodels; and secondly, intensive research on particular submodels with a variety of techniques. This volume constructs ..."
"The pressures of global competition are affecting regions throughout the world and making it increasingly necessary to understand the complex underlying mechanisms and the potential for innovation offered by new technology. Success in economic restructuring depends not only on the technology itself, but the professional and entrepreneurial skills available and the support of provided by institutions and information networks. The very lo ..."
"Performance, Policy, and Planning Cristoforo Sergio Bertuglia, G. P. Clarke, Alan
Geoffrey Wilson ... The first theoretical works in the 1950s and 1960s soon
broadened into a second era of applied research ranging from subsystem work
on new retail or housing sites to larger scale comprehensive models concerned
with the impacts of major urban land-use changes. Spurred on by developments
in computer technology this was the golden age ..."

"Questo terzo volume di una serie di quattro che raccoglie i lavori del seminario "La città e le sue scienze" (Perugia, 28-30 settembre 1995), approfondisce il tema dell'impatto della concezione della complessità sulla programmazione della città: posto che la complessità è un modo di vedere le cose (la città) che ha implicazioni sulle azioni da impattare sulle cose, su quel che si può attendere da dette azioni e su come ragionarci sopra ..."
