报告摘要：

Complex systems are modeled with mathematical representations that describe their complexity in two different ways: complex dynamics and complicated structure. This talk assumes basic familiarity with typical engineering models, such as state space models or differential equations, to introduce the Dynamical Structure Function as a novel modeling tool and explain how it relates to multi-agent models or models of systems derived by interconnecting subsystems.
