Abstract

Emergence is seen as the most significant feature discriminating “complex” from “non complex” systems. Nevertheless, no standard definition of emergence is currently available in the literature. This lack of a shared view affects the development of tools to detect and model emergence for both scientific and engineering applications. Here we review some definitions of emergence with the aim to describe how they can be implemented in algorithms to detect and model emergence in sensor and communication networks.
