The concept of complexity is used in many areas of computer science and software engineering. Software complexity metrics can be used to evaluate and compare quality of software development and maintenance processes and their products. Complexity management and measurement is especially important in novel programming technologies and paradigms, such as aspect-oriented programming, generative programming, and metaprogramming, where complex multilanguage and multi-aspect program specifications are developed and used. This paper analyzes complexity management and measurement techniques, and proposes five complexity metrics (Relative Kolmogorov Complexity, Metalanguage Richness, Cyclomatic Complexity, Normalized Difficulty, Cognitive Difficulty) for measuring complexity of metaprograms at information, metalanguage, graph, algorithm, and cognitive dimensions.

<div>The contribution focuses on the design project in particular in relation to the existing Cultural Heritage. The principle aim is the investigation and the analysis of a complex as an indispensable relationship between the phase of building knowledge and that of intervention. Methodologically this question will be addressed firstly through a historical excursus through the main restoration theories with the aim of understanding how this aspect has always been perceived as a fundamental element for the success of the project; then it will be addressed towards the study and investigation of some more recent methodological solutions. Outcome, still open to development and progress scenarios, is the evaluation of how the most recent technologies and information systems can be able, if wisely used, to became tools able to assist the designer in the synthetic control of the management of the building process.</div>

Theory Of Complexity

AbstractUsing Richard Holbrooke's negotiations in Bosnia as an instructive example, this article examines structural complexity as a barrier to agreement and proposes approaches to "strategic simplification" that are inspired by research on modular design of new products. This article represents an initial step toward development of a broader theory of complexity management in negotiation.
