Much has been learned about the structure and function of complex systems during the past three decades. This research has informed numerous individual scientific fields in important ways, and has led to a maturing understanding of the extent to which complex systems from diverse domains share common underlying properties and characteristics. The recent availability of innovative measurement techniques (e.g., in biology) and new modes of social interaction (e.g., via social media) are enabling vast data sets to be compiled, and with the emergence of these data comes the promise that progress in complex systems research will only accelerate. COMPLEX 2012 aims to provide a stimulating and trans-disciplinary forum that permits researchers and practitioners in all areas of complex systems science to exchange ideas and present their latest results.
