Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems introduces students to mathematical/computational modeling and analysis developed in the emerging interdisciplinary field of Complex Systems Science. Complex systems are systems made of a large number of microscopic components interacting with each other in nontrivial ways. Many real-world systems can be understood as complex systems, where critically important information resides in the relationships between the parts and not necessarily within the parts themselves. This textbook offers an accessible yet technically-oriented introduction to the modeling and analysis of complex systems. The topics covered include: fundamentals of modeling, basics of dynamical systems, discrete-time models, continuous-time models, bifurcations, chaos, cellular automata, continuous field models, static networks, dynamic networks, and agent-based models. Most of these topics are discussed in two chapters, one focusing on computational modeling and the other on mathematical analysis. This unique approach provides a comprehensive view of related concepts and techniques, and allows readers and instructors to flexibly choose relevant materials based on their objectives and needs. Python sample codes are provided for each modeling example. This textbook is also available free online from the Open SUNY Textbooks website (http://textbooks.opensuny.org).

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Hiroki Sayama’s book “Introduction to the Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems” is therefore a unique and welcome addition to any instructor’s collection. What makes it valuable is that it not only presents a state-of-the-art review of the domain but also serves as a gentle guide to learning the sophisticated art of modeling complex systems."

–Muaz A. Niazi, Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling 2016 4:3"

... Sayama's book is a very good instrument for students who want to read an introductory text on modeling and analysis of complex systems, and for instructors who need such a text in simple language for their complex systems courses and projects. The book offers a good introduction to the complex systems terminology and plenty of readily available examples with technical implementation details. ... Overall, Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems offers a novel pedagogical approach to the teaching of complex systems, based on examples and library code that engage students in a tutorial-style learning adventure. It is a solid tool that may become one of the primary instruments for teaching complex systems science and help the discipline to become more established in the academic world, triggering the necessary transition from a top-down tradition to a bottom-up complex systems approach.
- Stefano Nichele, Artificial Life 22(3): 424-427, 2016.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for getting started with practical modeling and analysis of Complex Systems
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I read the book cover to cover as a self-study.
I found that having read more theoretical and general work previously helped a lot. This works requires learning three things at the same time; 1) Complex Systems, 2) the math that is used for modeling Complex Systems, and 3) Python (with some very specific packages and modules).
Juggling the three types of learning is challenging, but ultimately quite rewarding when you can get one of the examples working and tinker with it on your own.
Dr. Sayama recommends using Anaconda (specifically Spyder), while these seem like great packages, I had a hard time making them work correctly on my system. Instead went for plain vanilla Python with needed packages added with PIP, which worked fine.
As some others have noted, this work is available online. I bought this version as I find reading textbooks on paper works better for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instructive and Practical

This is probably the most captivating and practical academic work that can serve as a textbook for introduction of dynamic system modeling. It not only efficiently reviews all the required knowledge from conventional control engineering, but also teaches how to integrate the classical models with the newly emerging network analysis topics.

I can feel the book is engineered with great diligence and passion. The utensils to conduct dynamic analysis are explained with solid yet concise mathematical interpretations, together with concrete case studies and Python scripts. I never get bored reading it because of the mesmerizing writing style and well-organized structure.

This is a great book on Complex Systems. It covers the various topics well with good examples. I believe there is either a newer edition or that a newer edition is in the works.

Network science is a challenging topic. Dr. Sayama demonstrates the meaningfulness of this science as relevant and important to our existence with and in the world. He does so freely and with much joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, and very informative!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020
I'm not a verified purchase because I downloaded the book from open-SUNY. I used this book with Dr. Sayama's course in modeling and analyzing complex systems, and I think it is great. It covers such a wide range of mathematical topics in the perfect way: It goes into the mathematical details of everything without cutting corners, but does not over analyze any particular topic. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that are extremely helpful, although they don't have solutions. I think if a select few exercises from the book were given detailed solutions (either in this book or, say, an instructor book) it would be perfect because that is a way to provide good feedback.

This is an excellent book that I use extensively in a course on modeling & simulation. Sayama alternates between theory and application and provides easy-to-follow Python examples to demonstrate the material.
