Geary & Schumacher [ 19] suggest integrating concepts of complex adaptive systems from complexity science to connect the transitions to the context in which they are occurring.
We then describe generic properties of innovation ecosystems in terms of complexity science, viewing them as complex adaptive systems, paying special attention to the complexity of innovation clusters.
There have been repeated calls for a transdisciplinary approach to complex SESs that incorporates resilience, complexity science characterized by intricate feedback interactions, emergent processes, non-linear dynamics and uncertainty.
Future epigenetic studies investigating the origins of complex human disease will therefore need to incorporate multiple-level systems modeling and complexity science to uncover disease etiology in complex and dynamic biologic systems.
Complexity science is the multidisciplinary study of complex systems.
A growing literature illustrates the relevance of complexity science to understand family practice offices as complex adaptive systems [ 21, 22].
This is in line with the ideas of Plsek and colleagues regarding complexity science in which they advocate treating organizations as complex, adaptive systems [ 49, 50].
Complexity science suggests that our current health care delivery system acts as a complex adaptive system (CAS).

At the forefront of these efforts is complexity science, a new branch of mathematics that models the market as a collection of individuals interacting according to specified rules.
The idea of transition management has its origins in studies of science, technology and innovation, and in evolutionary economics, history and complexity science.
