1. Compared with machine learning or data mining, we may feel that complex systems have less practical applications in enterprise development. How to better adopt the theories and profits of complexity into practical production and make this field better as a demand-driven research, as well as research guided production?
2. Systems like social activities and economic activities are quite complex. The trends of agent-based modelling usually simplifies or ignores many mechanisms and conditions, which are far away from real situations. Can we use these "toy models" to solve real world financial crisis, fight against terrorist organizations or protect civil rights?
