The growth of affordable computing power and widespread access to computers has sparked significant interest in designing and implementing Complex Systems. Computer-based solutions are vital for this design, as these systems themselves are becoming increasingly intricate. This research book features a selection of cutting-edge contributions focused on Complex Systems within a Knowledge-based Environment. Such systems are prevalent and include examples like System of Systems, Service-oriented Approaches, Agent-based Systems, and Complex Distributed Virtual Systems. These domains necessitate knowledge of engineering and management methods that extend beyond traditional systems. The chapters cover various topics, including uncertainty representation, management, and the use of ontological tools that support large-scale business integration. All contributions were invited based on the authors' recognized expertise in the field. By compiling these works, the aim is to provide readers with a range of tools for both study and professional application. Additionally, the book highlights how the diverse topics presented are complementary, contributing to the emerging discipline that aids in analyzing complex systems.
