【 摘 要 】

In 2005, Quesada et al. (2005) titled a paper “Complex problem-solving: A field in search of a definition.” Thirteen years later, it seems that the field has found it in the form of multiple (or minimal) complex systems such as MicroDYN. While MicroDYN certainly has brought the field a boost of attention and serves as a standard of comparison, not all researchers agree that it is an appropriate operationalization for complex problem solving (CPS). So is the field still searching? A pessimist would affirm this. However, the present collection of articles shows that the search is productive. For the intended scope of the research topic, please refer to the overview.
