In this insightful work, Dogaru proposes a systematic framework for measuring emergence and a systematic design method to locate computationally meaningful genes in a reasonable computing time. Programs and application examples are provided so that the reader may easily understand the new concepts and develop her own specific experiments. The book's approachability recommends it to a large audience including specialists from various interdisciplinary fields.
