With ever-growing complexity of systems to be modeled, there is a strong need for a proper
theory of complexity, other than the algorithmic complexity known in computing. The problem …

This paper considers the creation of Complex Engineered Systems (CESs) and the Systems
Engineering approach by which they are designed. The changing nature of the challenges …

There is an enormous literature on the complexity of systems, and with attempts at specifying
intrinsic measures of complexity. In this note, we will take an opposite view; that complexity …

During the last two decades or so, a new field of interdisciplinary research, often referred to
as the “science of complexity,” emerged from the interplay of physics, mathematics, biology …

Several research questions are addressed in this thought piece on the need for research in
the engineering of complex systems. What are the classes of problems for which complexity …

Ideas about complex systems go back to prehistory, but it was not until the 1920s that these
ideas began to develop coherently in the systems approach The convergence of biological …

Advances in technology hold promising solutions to problems that up until now have been
intractable. Many of these problems are multidisciplinary encompassing engineering …
