Abstract

This chapter is designed to define the complexity concepts and reviews the use of these concepts in the energy field. Our aim is to give a summary for the motivation of this book and overview the issues and the approaches to analyze and understand those issues. Energy applications have the wide arena for complexity and therefore there is a huge variety of collaborative and computational approaches. This chapter will only review the methods considered in this book, but there are a lot more that would add value to the energy industry.
