Context Today, we are facing the growing development of distributed systems which their
vast scale has challenged their centralized management. Therefore, many researchers …

We describe a method to identify relevant subsets of variables, useful to understand the
organization of a dynamical system. The variables belonging to a relevant subset should …

In a previous work, Villani et al. introduced a method to identify candidate emergent
dynamical structures in complex systems. Such a method detects subsets (clusters) of the …

Complex systems often show forms of organisation where a clear-cut hierarchy of levels with
a well-defined direction of information flow cannot be found. In this paper we propose an …

Abstract Identifying Relevant Sets, ie, variable subsets that exhibit a coordinated behavior, in
complex systems is a very relevant research topic. Systems that exhibit complex dynamics …

The identification of critical states is a major task in complex systems, and the availability of
measures to detect such conditions is of utmost importance. In general, criticality refers to the …

Abstract The Relevance Index method has been shown to be effective in identifying
Relevant Sets in complex systems, ie, variable sub-sets that exhibit a coordinated behavior …

Various methods have been proposed to identify emergent dynamical structures in complex
systems. In this paper, we focus on the Dynamical Cluster Index (DCI), a measure based on …

Many complex systems, both natural and artificial, may be represented by networks of
interacting nodes. Nevertheless, it is often difficult to find meaningful correspondences …

The crucial role evaluation can play in the co-development of project design and its
implementation will be addressed through the analysis of a case study, the Green …
