Abstract
Conventional systems engineering models fail to capture the emergent global (macroscopic) behavior of complex phenomena Especially in the case of living composite non-linear systems, complexity concepts and tools suggest new ways to analyze and model their dynamics. Such systems exhibit long-range order induced by the interplay of multitudes of local (microscopic) processes. Following a brief introduction of the basic principles and tools of complex systems pertinent to our work, we outline the process of development and validation of a complex physiological model that captures the dynamics of loss of consciousness in human subjects. In new work on cardiac cell cultures, we propose a similar approach to study the dynamics of cellular networks.
