“…The literature on WoT is quite scarce, and mainly limited to proof-of-concept applications [17] [18][19] [20]. Hence, we register the need of service tools (the so-called Software Ecosystem (SECO) [21]) that can facilitate the adoption of the W3C WoT technology on existing and novel IoT scenarios. In addition, IoT/WoT deployments are often characterized by dynamicity, e.g.…”

Complex Systems were identified and studied in different fields, such as physics, biology, and economics. These systems exhibit exciting properties such as self-organization, robust order, and emergence. In recent years, software systems displaying behaviors associated with Complex Systems are starting to appear, and these behaviors are showing previously unknown potential (e.g., GPT-based applications). Yet, there is no commonly shared definition of a Complex Software System that can serve as a key reference for academia to support research in the area. In this paper, we adopt the theory-to-research strategy to extract properties of Complex Systems from research in other fields, mapping them to software systems to create a formal definition of a Complex Software System. We support the evolution of the properties through future validation, and we provide examples of the application of the definition. Overall, the definition will allow for a more precise, consistent, and rigorous frame of reference for conducting scientific research on software systems.
