Inspired by the Conference on Complex Systems 2023 (CCS2023) in Salvador, Brazil, this collection of EPJ B brings together 25 peer-reviewed articles covering a wide range of topics.
This collection highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the field, with contributions from physics, biology, economics, linguistics, and artificial intelligence, and serves as a reference for researchers addressing real-world challenges through systems-based thinking.

The contributions are organized into five thematic areas:

  • Complex Networks and Systemic Modeling: Studies of scaling in project schedules, linguistic network representations, super-diffusion in multiplex systems, COVID-19 early scientific production networks, rumor propagation, and synchronization control.
  • Financial, Natural, and Environmental Dynamics: Works on greenhouse gas emissions in Brazilian agriculture, regulatory enforcement in economic systems, socio-economic indicator analysis, sustainable citizen behavior, synthetic data generation with hybrid quantum-classical models, and climate-driven rainfall changes in Sicily.
  • Advances in Computational Methods and AI: New approaches for modeling language evolution, hybrid deep learning for dengue forecasting, GPT-based retail journey generation, and crowd dynamics in social environments.
  • Biological and Health-Related Systems: Insights into the abrupt end of COVID-19 through phase transition theory, cross-seeding between proteins relevant to Alzheimer’s and diabetes, and morphodynamic modeling of neuronal growth.
  • Fundamental Physics and Theoretical Systems: Contributions on coastline geometry via fractal algorithms, supercooled liquids modeling, universal energy rate density in dissipative systems, and exciton fine structures in heterostructures.

All articles are available here and are freely accessible until 22 November 2025. For further information read the Editorial.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
