Innovative Technology Complexity Assessment of the Russian Agro-Industrial Complex

The article concerns some aspects of technologies development for the future agro-industrial complex. The focus is on the systems complexity concept. The range of issues discussed are the following: analysis and synthesis tasks of technological systems; the technological system behavior in conditions of interaction with the external environment; the characteristic features of a complex technological system – integrity, openness, nonlinearity, hierarchy, structure degree, emergence, dynamism, instability, adaptability; the quantitative structure complexity assessment of elements depending on the composition (type, number); the quantitative structure complexity assessment of communications depending on the composition (type, number); the quantitative technology complexity assessment as a whole; the technological system complexity assessment study through the complexity categories of equipment maintenance implementing this technology; the equipment maintenance complexity category as a processes complexity measure in the technological flow; the features of complex technologies development with a quantitative assessment of their complexity level; the analysis of complex technological system as synergetics object. A man paid special attention to the dialectic of agricultural technologies, which complication was a natural historical process.
