Серия: "A Very Short Introduction" The importance of complexity is well-captured by Hawking's comment: Complexity is the science of the 21st century. From the movement of flocks of birds to the Internet, environmental sustainability, and market regulation, the study and understanding of complex non-linear systems has become highly influential over the last 30 years. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the leading figures in the field, John Holland, introduces the key elements and conceptual framework of complexity. From complex physical systems such as fluid flow and the difficulties of predicting weather, to complex adaptive systems such as the highly diverse and interdependent ecosystems of rainforests, he combines simple, well-known examples - Adam Smith's pin factory, Darwin's comet orchid, and Simon's watchmaker - with an account of the approaches, involving agents and urn models, taken by complexity theory. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. Издательство: "Oxford University Press" (2014)

John Henry Holland (* 2. Februar 1929 in Indiana) ist ein US-amerikanischer Informatiker. Er studierte am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) und schloss an der University of Michigan als erster Absolvent des Faches Informatik mit Promotion ab. Heute lehrt er dort Psychologie, Elektrotechnik und Informatik.
Er gilt als Begründer des genetischen Algorithmus zur Lösung komplexer Optimierungsprobleme und des evolutionären Algorithmus. Er ist auch Mitbegründer des komplexen adaptiven Systems. Der nach ihm benannte Schemasatz ist zentraler theoretischer Bestandteil dieses Gebiets.
1992 war er MacArthur Fellow.
