Abstract: The paper outlines a methodology for applying complexity science and agent technology to practical large-scale commercial, social and engineering problems. The methodology is derived from a decade of experience in designing and implementing systems for real-time scheduling of taxis, car rentals, seagoing tankers and trucks; dynamic data mining; dynamic knowledge discovery and semantic search. The methodology has also been used for designing adaptive engineering systems and for research into social issues such as eradication of poverty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
