Definitions from Luis Rocha, LANL
"A system comprised of a (usually large) number of (usually strongly) interacting entities, processes, or agents, the understanding of which requires the development, or the use of, new scientific tools, nonlinear models, out-of equilibrium descriptions and computer simulations." [Advances in Complex Systems Journal]
"A system that can be analyzed into many components having relatively many relations among them, so that the behavior of each component depends on the behavior of others. [Herbert Simon]"
"A system that involves numerous interacting agents whose aggregate behaviors are to be understood. Such aggregate activity is nonlinear, hence it cannot simply be derived from summation of individual components behavior." [Jerome Singer]
