Computational Systems Analysis 1992

Extended tools for analyzing and understanding complex systems and their applications in natural, management, engineering and social sciences are topics of the 4th International Symposium on Systems Analysis and Simulation held in Berlin, August 25-28, 1992. The development of simulation tools is very much driven by the tasks of systems analysis and at the same time by new architectures of computers like vector and parallel computers. Such extended simulation tools support the modelling process itself as well as the experimentation process with the simulated model. Systems analysis by means of such advanced tools here is briefly named Computational Systems Analysis (see also Computational Systems Analysis/Topics and Trends, ed. by A. Sydow, Elsevier, 1992). It connects systems theory, numerical mathematics, control and decisions sciences with applying sciences like physics, engineering sciences, biology, economy and many others on the base of computer technique in order to analyze, construct and control systems. This volume contains papers which were accepted for presentation at the symposium. It reflects activities and the state of the art in that area.
