A framework for quantifying complexity and understanding its sources : application to tow large-scale systems
… work is to quantify the complexity of complex systems and to understand its sources. To study complexity, we develop a theoretical framework where the complex system of interest is embedded in a broader system: a complex large-scale system. In order to understand and show how the complexity of …
