The Science of Complexity is currently undergoing a rapid expansion through a va- riety of interdisciplinary elds such as computer science, technology, biology and socio-economical systems. Complexity Science is a new approach to comprehend a certain type of systems, the so-called Complex Systems, composed of a large number of interacting entities that produce emergent behaviors in the system. Given this general framework, Complexity is not used to refer just to complicated phenom- ena within Science, it emphasizes the notion of collective behavior that surge from microscopic interaction scales. Statistical Mechanics has provided a mathematical toolbox to analyze Complex Systems. Thus, modeling approaches from physics are combined with powerful computational resources to gain insight on fundamental questions poorly suited to traditional science.
