复杂性范式视野下的复杂网络研究及其意义

A Study of Complex Networks and Its Significance from the Perspective of Complexity Paradigm

在对复杂性的探索过程中,科学研究的思维方式经历了由"还原论范式"到"整体论范式"再到"复杂性范式"的转换,复杂网络理论是近年来在探索复杂性问题上的一个新的研究视角。本文对复杂性研究和复杂网络理论的研究进展作了梳理,对二者的关系和意义进行了探讨,结合实例分析了复杂网络模型方法模拟复杂系统涌现的过程,在肯定这一方法的同时,也指出了该方法的局限性。

In the process of exploring complexity, the ways of scientific research changes from reductionism to holism and then to complexity paradigm. The complex network theory opens a new perspective in the complexity exploration in recent years. This paper gives a summary of the complex network theory and complexity research and discusses the relationship between them and its significance. It also shows the simulation emergence process of complex system through a case of complex network modeling. Lastly, it comments on the complex network modeling method with praise and criticism.
